Established (without a station) by the Buckinghamshire Railway, which planned a Bletchley – Banbury route (subsequently the 'Banbury to Verney Junction Branch Line') and a Bletchley – Oxford route. The Bletchley – Banbury Merton Street section was completed in May 1850 and the section from here to Oxford Rewley Road was completed in October of the same year. These all closed in the early to mid 1960s. Verney Junction railway station was added when the Metropolitan Railway was extended here (from Baker Street); closed 1936. It is on the route of the former Varsity Line. As of 2016, that line is disused but is to be reopened in about 2019 as part of the East West Rail Link. -Adapted from Wikipedia.
