The line was promoted by William Bliss and its traffic included freight to and from his tweed mill at Chipping Norton.

Goods trains started running to the station in June 1855 and the official opening to passengers took place on 10 August 1855.

No photographs exist, but Bliss Tweed publicity material includes drawings of the station.

In 1929, a large door was added in the end wall and the building was used to house GWR motor buses.

Jenkins, Brown and Parkhouse attribute the fall in passenger traffic to the transfer of railway road transport services to the local bus company.

British Railways (BR) withdrew passenger services from the Chipping Norton - Kings Sutton section in 1951.

The landslide was never cleared and, after this time, the only trains running north from Chipping Norton were occasional goods services to Rollright Siding.

World War Two saw many children from London evacuated to small towns and villages in the countryside.

Chipping Norton was one such place; trains brought children to the area from Acton and Ealing Broadway.

The site that was once occupied by the station and goods yard is now part of an industrial estate; only the stable remains.
