Description

Wainhill Crossing Halt var en stoppested på Watlington og Princes Risborough Railway, som Great Western Railway åbnede i 1925 for at betjene Oxfordshire landsbyen Wainhill. Åbningen af stoppestedet var en del af et GWR-forsøg på at tilskynde flere passagerer til at bruge linjen på et tidspunkt, hvor konkurrencen fra busser tog passagerer væk.

Åbnet i 1925, stoppestedet - den sidste station, der blev åbnet på linjen - søgte at tilskynde til passagertrafik i lyset af øget konkurrence fra busser. Det var beliggende syd for en ukontrolleret vejbane over en uklassificeret vej, der førte til Lower Wainhill og Hempton Wainhill. Vejen så meget sjældent trafik, da den var uegnet til motorkøretøjer og kun betjente ni eller ti huse på den østlige side af Watlington og Princes Risborough Railway. Et beskedent overkørselsholderhus var blevet stillet til rådighed af jernbaneselskabet, som bestod af to rum i stueplan og et soveværelse på første sal; der var ingen vand, gas eller elektricitet. Overkørselsholderen var ansvarlig for at holde lamperne tændt på portene, og når stationen var åbnet, for at trimme og tænde de to olie-hurrikanlamper, der hang på stolper for at oplyse den enkle platform.
