Hanborough railway station is a railway station in the village of Long Hanborough in Oxfordshire, England, serving the village and surrounding district. As a result of the Cotswold Line being singled the former up platform is the only one now in use for both up and down trains. It is served by Great Western Railway trains between {{rws|Oxford}} and {{rws|Worcester Shrub Hill}}. It is also the nearest station to the towns of Woodstock and Witney. There is a passenger-operated ticket machine (card payments only; not cash) at the entrance to the station platform. The station has two car parks, which between them provide 241 car spaces. However, on most weekdays the number of passengers parking at Hanborough exceeds the number of spaces available.[1] Oxford Bus Museum[2] is just east of the station, in the former goods yard. History19th centuryThe Oxford, Worcester and Wolverhampton Railway opened the station on 4 June 1853, and it was originally named Handborough.[3] Between 1854 and 1861 it served as a junction for Oxford-bound passengers changing from through trains between Worcester and {{rws|London Euston}}, for whom a refreshment room was provided. 20th centuryOn 30 January 1965, by which time the station boards read "Handborough for Blenheim", it was the destination for the funeral train of Sir Winston Churchill hauled by Battle of Britain class locomotive No. 34051 Winston Churchill.[4][5][6] In his commentary on the funeral for BBC television, Richard Dimbleby said the report The Reshaping of British Railways had scheduled the station for closure.[7] In fact the station remained open, but in January 1966 it was de-staffed. Thereafter the standard OW&WR wooden station building and goods shed were demolished.[8][9] On 28 September 1992 the station was renamed Hanborough.[3] Toward the end of the 1990s the number of passengers slowly increased, until reaching an estimated total of almost 63,000 in 1999–2000.[10] 21st centuryPassenger numbers fluctuated until 2005–06, when the Office of the Rail Regulator estimated that the total number for that year was just above 70,000. Since then the number of passengers using the station has increased rapidly, and the estimated total for 2015-16 was more than 271,000.[11] Estimated passenger totals have doubled in four years and trebled in seven years. More than 250 passengers a day come by car, but the original car park had only 50 spaces and by 2011 it had been overwhelmed. In August 2011 First Great Western and a house-building company jointly proposed a new development on a green field site next to the station that would provide new homes and a new 191-space car park.[12] This was officially opened in July 2013,[13] by which time it was already more than half-full each weekday.[14] In November 2014 the Cotswold Line Promotion Group found 204 vehicles parked in the 191-space second car park and reported that it "was being used beyond capacity on most weekdays".[1] Plans were announced to increase services from Hanborough Station, by Great Western Railway. A launch event was held in Witney, at which GWR's managing director Mark Hopwood said that the investment needed was £275 million. Double tracking would be reinstated between North Oxford and Long Hanborough and two disused platforms reopened. The local constituency MP and Prime Minister David Cameron told delegates at the meeting " am utterly convinced of the necessity of investing in this line. I will do everything I can to give this vision a boost"[15] {{rail start}}{{rail line |next={{rws|Oxford}} |previous=Combe({{rws|Charlbury}} on Saturdays and Sundays) |route=Great Western Railway Cotswold Line |col={{FGW colour}} }}{{s-end}} References1. ^1 {{cite news |title=Extended Hanborough station car park 'is already full' |last=Oliver |first=Matt |url= http://www.oxfordmail.co.uk/news/11634640.Extended_Hanborough_station_car_park__is_already_full_/ |newspaper=Oxford Mail |date=1 December 2014 |accessdate=9 December 2014}} 2. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.oxfordbusmuseum.org.uk |title=Oxford Bus Museum |accessdate=28 April 2007}} 3. ^1 {{cite book |last=Butt |first=R.V.J. |title=The Directory of Railway Stations |year=1995 |publisher=Patrick Stephens Ltd |location=Yeovil |isbn=1-85260-508-1 |id=R508 |page=113 |ref=harv }} 4. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.semgonline.com/misc/win-church_1.html|title=Sir Winston Churchill's Funeral Train |accessdate=1 April 2007 |publisher=Southern E-Group}} 5. ^{{cite journal |last=Bird |first=John H. |title=Operation Hope Not |journal=Steam World |issue=211 |pages=16–22 |date=January 2005}} 6. ^{{cite journal |last= Leigh |first=Chris |title=A State Occasion |journal=Steam World |issue=108 |pages=50–1 |date=June 1996}} 7. ^{{cite AV media |people=Richard Dimbleby, commentator |date=30 January 1965 |title=Funeral of Sir Winston Churchill |medium=television production |url= |access-date= |archive-url= |archive-date= |format= |time= |location= |publisher=BBC One |id= |quote= |ref= }} repeated on BBC Parliament, 30 January 2014 8. ^{{cite book |last1=Jenkins |first1=S.C. |last2=Quayle |first2=H.I. |title=The Oxford, Worcester & Wolverhampton Railway |publisher=Oakwood Press |year=1977}} 9. ^{{cite book |last=Leigh |first=Chris |title=GWR Country Stations |publisher=Ian Allan |year=1981 |isbn=0-7110-1108-7 }} 10. ^Office of the Rail Regulator data 11. ^Office of Rail and Road data: see infobox at head of article. 12. ^{{cite news |title=Solution to parking problems? |last=Crossley |first=William |url=http://www.oxfordmail.co.uk/news/9185735.Solution_to_parking_problems_/ |newspaper=Oxford Mail |date=10 August 2011 |accessdate=14 August 2011}} 13. ^{{cite news |title=£400,000 car park at Hanborough railway station gets official launch |url= http://www.oxfordmail.co.uk/news/10567218.__400_000_car_park_at_Hanborough_railway_station_gets_official_launch/ |newspaper=Oxford Mail |date=24 July 2013 |accessdate=9 December 2014}} 14. ^{{cite news |title=Hanborough station's car park is filling up fast |last=Elliott |first=Gordon |url= http://www.oxfordmail.co.uk/news/11341966.Hanborough_station_s_car_park_is_filling_up_fast/ |newspaper=Oxford Mail |date=16 July 2013 |accessdate=9 December 2014}} 15. ^http://www.witneygazette.co.uk/news/wgheadlines/witney/14274245.Proposals_revealed_for___275m_development_to_create_a____world_class____railway_link/?ref=rss External links{{stn art lrnk|HND|OX86TF}}{{coord|51|49|30.7|N|1|22|20.68|W|type:railwaystation_region:GB|display=title}}{{Railway stations in Oxfordshire}} 4 : Former Great Western Railway stations|Railway stations in Oxfordshire|Railway stations opened in 1853|Railway stations served by Great Western Railway |
