Steventon railway station was built when the Great Western Railway extended their main line from Reading to the village of Steventon, opening the line on 1 June 1840. Two months later it was extended to Faringdon Road, and in December of that year, to Swindon. For four years a stagecoach transported passengers to Oxford, until 1844 when a branch was built to the city from Didcot.
Services finished, along with all other intermediate stations between Didcot and Swindon, on 7 December 1964.
