[1] Following the passing of the Act of Parliament in 1873 authorising the construction of the B&CDR, it was announced in 1874 that a station would be provided at Hook Norton.

[3] On 2 June 1884 it was reported that "Hook Norton Station is built nearly up to the level of the doors".

In order to provide solid foundations, the platforms were supported on iron girders and the station building had a 20-foot deep cellar.

This line was operated by an 0-6-0 Manning Wardle locomotive named Hook Norton[9] The sidings were subsequently turned into loops with the addition of a connection at the west end.

The GWR also acquired the locomotive Hook Norton which was subsequently used on the Weymouth Harbour Tramway for many years.

[18] In 1951 British Railways withdrew passenger services from the line through Hook Norton.
