It served Upton, with Blewbury and West Hagbourne being only a mile from the station. It was opened in 1882 to serve military camps in the area.[1] Originally named Upton; Blewbury was added to the name of the station in 1911 to recognise the more distant but larger village in the Vale of the White Horse. In the latter part of the station's history it also served the Atomic Energy Research Establishment at Harwell. The station closed in 1962. FacilitiesThe station comprised two platforms, with the ticket office and station buildings located on the southbound platform on a passing loop. The northbound platform, linked by two paths across the tracks at either end for access, had a small wooden shelter and a signal box at its northern end. To the North of the station was a headshunt and two sidings, one flanking the southbound platform used for loading horses and other goods, the other siding curving to the east. The site todayThe station building is still in excellent condition with a recent extension in the original style. It even retains its original canopy, although it has also been recently surrounded by further housing. The original station approach and car park area has been named "Beeching Close".[2] Routes{{Disused Rail Start}}{{Rail line|previous=DidcotLine closed, station open |next=Churn Line and station closed |route=Great Western Railway Didcot, Newbury and Southampton Railway |col={{GWR colour}} }}{{end}} References1. ^Ditchfield, P.H and Page, W., A History of the County of Berkshire: Volume 3 (1923) {{Closed stations Oxfordshire}}{{Closed stations Berkshire}}{{coord|51.5787|N|1.2640|W|region:GB|display=title}}2. ^Karau, P., Parsons, M. and Robertson, K.
