HistoryThe station was about {{convert|3/4|mi}} south of the village, on the west side of the B4000 Station Road, south of the Wilts & Berks Canal. The main station building was built in 1840. It was very small, faced with flint, had Tudor style windows and a roof that projected in the form of a canopy.[1] On 10 May 1848 six passengers were killed and 13 injured at Shrivenham when two porters pushed a horse-box and cattle van onto the main line to free a waggon turntable. The Exeter express struck them; the locomotive was undamaged but the side of the leading coach was torn out killing six passengers and injuring 13 more.[2] On 15 January 1936 an express from Penzance collided with some coal wagons just outside the station that had become detached from an earlier train. Two people were killed and 10 injured.[3][4] On 7 December 1964 British Railways withdrew passenger services from Shrivenham and all other intermediate stations between Didcot and Swindon. The station buildings were demolished in 1965 but remnants of the platforms survive.[5] Routes{{Historical Rail Start}}{{Rail line|previous=UffingtonLine open, station closed|next=Stratton Park Halt Line open, station closed|route=British Rail Western Region Great Western Main Line|col=41A317}}{{end}} References1. ^{{cite book |author=Pevsner, Nikolaus |authorlink=Nikolaus Pevsner |coauthors= |title=The Buildings of England: Berkshire |year=1966 |publisher=Penguin Books |location=Harmondsworth |isbn= |page=218}} {{coord|51.5868|-1.6585|type:railwaystation_region:GB|display=title}}{{Closed stations Oxfordshire}}2. ^{{cite book |title=Red for Danger |first1=L.T.C. |last1=Rolt |authorlink1=L.
