In 1864 the line was extended from Thame to Oxford. The station was built with a train shed over its platforms. ConstructionAs originally built Thame station only had a single platform with an engine shed on the south side on the location where later cattle pens were built, sometime between 1864 and 1893 the engine shed was demolished and a second platform built, the trainshed roof was extended on one side to provide a cover over the new platform. As built Thame and the first station at High Wycombe were the same in design and dimensions only construction material differed: the train-shed walls at Thame were timber, while Wycombe's were flint and brick. Discontinuation of passenger serviceIn 1963 British Railways withdrew passenger services between Princes Risborough and Oxford, closed all intermediate stations including Thame, and dismantled the track between Thame and Cowley. A BP depot remained at Thame and the line from Princes Risborough remained open for oil trains to serve it. In 1991 the oil depot was closed. A few years later all track between Thame and Princes Risborough was lifted, with the exception of a short stub at the Princes Risborough end.
