Didcot Parkway is a railway station serving the town of Didcot in Oxfordshire, England. The station was opened as Didcot on 12 June 1844, and renamed Didcot Parkway on 29 July 1985 by British Rail to reflect its role as a park and ride railhead. The station is served by local services operated by Great Western Railway from Reading to Didcot and Oxford, and by Main line services from London Paddington to Bristol and South Wales, but some of the main line services do not call at the station.
