Wolvercot Platform was a halt on the Great Western Railway line between Oxford and Banbury.
Although only a halt, Wolvercot had once been staffed and during the First World War it became the first station to have a stationmistress.
Margaret Elsden later married Frank Buckingham who became stationmaster at Oxford.
[1] Wolvercot Siding signalbox, a 29-lever hipped roof structure which survived the closure, controlled the level crossing over Godstow Road as well as vehicular access to the adjacent meadows.
The down starter in Wolvercot Siding carried the distant arms for Wolvercot Junction, 0.5 miles (0.80 km) to the north, where the Oxford, Worcester and Wolverhampton Line diverged north-westwards from the Birmingham Main Line.
