The Wantage Tramway was a two mile tramway that carried passengers and freight between the Oxfordshire town of Wantage and Wantage Road Station on the Great Western Main Line. It was formed in 1873 to link Wantage Road station with its terminus at Mill Street, Wantage. The tramway closed to passengers in 1925 and finally to goods traffic in 1945.
