Wallingford railway station
Wallingford railway station is a railway station serving the town of Wallingford. It is now part of a preserved railway.
==History==
On 2 July 1866, the Wallingford and Watlington Railway was opened from a junction with the Great Western Railway (GWR) main line at (known as Wallingford Road until that date) to Wallingford, where a station was constructed on the south side of Wantage Road (now Station Road), at The line never proceeded beyond, so did not reach the second-named town in its title.〔MacDermot vol. II, pp.42-43〕
For such a short line and a small station, the location was well patronised by commercial freight customers. The original Wallingford creamery was taken over by the Co-op Wholesale Society, and had its own private siding access from the goods yard to allow access for milk trains, which then took product to London until the late 1950s. There was also a Malting plant with rail access.
In 1969 the line was shortened by , back to the location of the malting plant on Hithercroft Road, which was the only remaining goods customer. When British Rail removed the junction at Cholsey in 1981, traffic from the maltings stopped and the line was closed. The new Wallingford station was built at this location, on the south side of St. Johns Road, at , when the line reopened as a heritage railway.〔Cholsey and Wallingford Railway History〕
