Pangbourne railway station
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Pangbourne railway station is a railway station in the village of Pangbourne in the county of Berkshire in England. The station is served by local services operated by First Great Western from Reading to Didcot and Oxford.
The station has two platforms, one on each of the relief (slow) lines, whilst the fast lines pass behind the station. The platforms are linked to each other and the station entrance, on the up relief platform, by a pedestrian underpass. Originally the station also had platforms on the main (fast) lines, similarly to nearby stations, and some signs of their previous existence are still visible adjacent to platform 1. A consequence of their removal is that when the relief lines are closed between Reading and Didcot, local stopping services cannot call at Pangbourne, and a replacement bus service from Tilehurst is required.
The station is on the original line of the Great Western Railway, which opened in 1841.
