It is some distance from Finstock itself,[1] being situated to the north-east of Charlbury Road (the present B4022), which crosses the line on an overbridge.

The station and all trains serving it are operated by Great Western Railway.

[3] The station was opened by the Great Western Railway (GWR) on 9 April 1934, originally being named "Finstock Halt"[4] and having two platforms.

[5] Each platform was approached by an inclined path from Charlbury Road, and each had a corrugated iron shelter with windows only in the end walls.

[1] Since at least February 1999 the station has been served by a minimal service of two trains per day, one in each direction.
