The Great Western Railway built the Oxford — Banbury section of the Oxford and Rugby Railway between 1845 and 1850. However, the GWR did not open a station at King's Sutton station until 1872. By 1881 the arrival of the Banbury and Cheltenham Direct Railway via Chipping Norton had made King's Sutton a junction. British Railways withdrew passenger services between King's Sutton and Chipping Norton in 1951 and closed the B&CDR line to freight traffic in 1964. The station was reduced to an unstaffed halt from 2 November 1964. BR removed King's Sutton station footbridge in the 1960s and replaced with a signal-controlled barrow crossing at the North end of the platform. An incident in early 2005 where a passenger was nearly hit by an express train saw the Northbound platform closed for a short

abstract
  • The Great Western Railway built the Oxford — Banbury section of the Oxford and Rugby Railway between 1845 and 1850. However, the GWR did not open a station at King's Sutton station until 1872. By 1881 the arrival of the Banbury and Cheltenham Direct Railway via Chipping Norton had made King's Sutton a junction. British Railways withdrew passenger services between King's Sutton and Chipping Norton in 1951 and closed the B&CDR line to freight traffic in 1964. The station was reduced to an unstaffed halt from 2 November 1964. BR removed King's Sutton station footbridge in the 1960s and replaced with a signal-controlled barrow crossing at the North end of the platform. An incident in early 2005 where a passenger was nearly hit by an express train saw the Northbound platform closed for a short period whilst security guards were brought in to man the crossing. This led to work starting on the bridge in late 2005 and completion in May 2006. The old passenger shelter on the up platform was replaced by a new plastic and metal 'bus-shelter' style one. A late night robbery in 2001 led Chiltern Railways to raise security concerns. As a result CCTV cameras were installed in 2002.
