  The station was opened in the late 1980s to serve the towns of Haddenham and Thame, which had both lost their stations in the mass closures of the 1960s. The station was originally single platform, with the platform sited on the former down line, long since removed. However, in 1998 as part of 'Project Evergreen', Chiltern Railways re-doubled the Princes Risborough-Bicester line and re-modelled the platforms so that there are now two, one on either line. Since then the platforms have also been lengthened. Haddenham is the filming location most used to date by Midsomer Murders. Midsomer Murders is a popular British television drama series about murders that take place in the fictional English county of Midsomer. It is based on a series of crime novels by the author Caroline Graham and was originally adapted by Anthony Horowitz. A detective drama, it focuses on the main character of Detective Chief Inspector Barnaby, played by actor John Nettles (of Bergerac fame) and his efforts to solve the various crimes that afflict Midsomer.
