Haddenham railway station was on the former Great Western and Great Central Joint Railway between Princes Risborough and Ashendon Junction.[1] It was closed in 1963.

History

The Great Western & Great Central Joint Committee was created on 1 August 1899 with the dual objective of providing the Great Central Railway with a second route into London, bypassing the Metropolitan Railway; and of providing the Great Western Railway with a shorter route to the Midlands.[2][3] The line ran from Northolt Junction to Ashendon Junction; the central section of its route was an existing GWR line. North of Princes Risborough a new line was constructed, which opened for goods on 20 November 1905, and for passengers on 2 April 1906.[4][5][6] The only station originally provided on that new line was Haddenham,[7] which was built on the western side of Haddenham village, on the north side of the present-day Station Road.[8] The station was closed on 7 January 1963.[4]

Twenty-four years later, a new station was opened about 0.5 miles (0.80 km) to the north-west, named Haddenham and Thame Parkway.
