Wantage Road railway station (sometimes referred to as Grove railway station) was built 6 years after the Great Western Railway extended their main line from Reading to the countryside a few miles north of Wantage, which opened on 20 July 1840. The station opened in 1846, in the village of Grove. It provided a link to the town of Wantage, which was linked to Wantage Road via the Wantage Tramway.
