History

The Great Western Railway opened the station on the Шаблон:RwsШаблон:Rws line as Abingdon Road on 12 June 1844. Its name was changed by the GWR to Culham, on 2 June 1856, on the opening of the branch from Шаблон:Rws to Abingdon.

The original station building (no longer in railway use) is in the Tudor Revival architecture of Isambard Kingdom Brunel[1] and is a Grade II* listed building.

The name Abingdon Road was later re-used for an entirely different station about Шаблон:Convert to the north, Шаблон:Rws, opened in 1908.

In some recent years passenger numbers using Culham have changed rapidly. The total increased 67% in the three years 2006–09, but then decreased slightly in 2010.[2]
