The station is part of Project Evergreen 3, funded and managed by Chiltern Railways.
It is served every half-hour by trains from London Marylebone.
Chiltern Railways opened the station in October 2015 for trains towards Bicester and London Marylebone, with services to Oxford railway station beginning in December 2016, delayed from Spring 2016 as locals objected to the extra noise that would be caused.
The journey time to London is about an hour.
 Network Rail completed the final track upgrades on this portion of the route in September 2016 allowing driver training runs on the line ahead of the inauguration of new services on 11 December.

The East West Rail Consortium's planned rail service between Oxford and Milton Keynes Central and Bedford Midland will also serve Oxford Parkway.

The station is on the site of the Buckinghamshire Railway's temporary Oxford Banbury Road terminus (1850–51), and north-east of the site of the former Oxford Road Halt (1905–26).
In 1942 a Government grain silo was built next to the site as part of a Second World War network to concentrate scarce food and distribute it by rail.
It was in use until the late 1980s.
In October 2013 Chiltern Railways had it demolished as part of site preparation for the new station and car park.

Water Eaton Park-and-Ride is immediately adjacent, with bus services to central Oxford and to the Headington hospitals (Monday to Friday only).

The station lies on National Cycle Route 51, which links Oxford to Bicester and further East.
 Oxford Parkway has covered two-level parking for 152 pedal cycles adjacent to the entrance, additional to the existing cycle parking at the nearby Park & Ride.
 It has CCTV surveillance.

The car park has 815 standard spaces, plus 41 spaces for passengers with reduced mobility.
There is realtime information about remaining available spaces.
 There is a fee to park a car but the first hour is free.
 There are also spaces for 30 motorcycles.

Purchase of rail travel tickets is by machine; there is no ticket office at the station, but there is an information desk.
Toilet and refreshment facilities are also present.
