It was opened on 1 February 1908 along with four other halts on the former Wycombe Railway route between Oxford and Wheatley.Services were provided by steam railmotors based at Oxford, which was also the western terminus; the eastern terminus of these services was Wheatley, Thame or Princes Risborough.
