Passenger statistics from the Office of Rail and Road

Bicester Village (2015–present, previously Bicester Town 1987–2014, Bicester London Road 1954–1968, Bicester 1850–1954) is one of two railway stations serving the market town of Bicester in Oxfordshire, alongside Bicester North. It is 12 miles (19 km) northeast of Oxford on the Oxford–Bicester line near its junction with the Chiltern Main Line. The renamed Bicester Village station reopened on 25 October 2015 with trains initially running between Oxford Parkway and London Marylebone. All trains serving it are operated by Chiltern Railways.

Following the reinstatement of the railway line between Bicester and Bletchley as part of East West Rail, Chiltern Railways expects to begin services between Oxford and Milton Keynes Central via Bicester and Bletchley from late 2025.
