Ashendon Junction in Buckinghamshire, England, was a major mainline railway junction where, from July 1910, the Great Western Railway's London-Birmingham direct route diverged from the Great Central Railway's main London-Sheffield route. It was near the small village of Ashendon, about 10 miles north-east of Oxford.
The junction was where what is now the Chiltern Main Line , inaugurated in 1910, joined the post-1906 "Alternative Route" alignment of the GCR. It was located 3 miles 44 chains north-west of today's Haddenham and Thame Parkway; 44 miles 4 chains from London Paddington via Northolt Junction, and 45 miles 31 chains from London Marylebone via Neasden and Northolt Junctions. It was a high-speed flying junction carrying southbound GWR trains from Birmingham via Bicester North on an embankment with a girder bridge over the top of northbound Great Central trains travelling from London Marylebone on to the 90 mph five-mile link to Grendon Underwood Junction where they rejoined the original Great Central Main Line towards Brackley and beyond to the East Midlands and North.
