Since it was built in 1844, the railway through Radley has had an important influence on the village and its surroundings. Radley Station was established in 1873, providing a junction between the main line and the branch line (now dismantled) to Abingdon. It replaced an earlier basic junction in the south of the parish, the new location being more convenient for the village and Radley College.
The story of the railway through Radley is told in Radley People & the Railway 1843–2013, published by Radley History Club in 2013.
