History

The station was first opened by the Great Western Railway in 1857. It had three platforms, mainly to serve the intensive service for Regatta traffic, for which purpose they were lengthened in 1891. The original trainshed, and station building, which were to the north of the present station, were removed in 1975 and the site sold. The platforms were reduced to two and then the remaining one. The present building was erected in 1985 to serve the one remaining platform. The other facilities at the station included a large goods yard, which is now the car park, a goods shed, signal box and turntable. These were progressively removed in the 1960s and 70s. To the south of the station lay extensive sidings, used to stable extra trains during the regatta and at other times to store surplus coaches from as far away as Old Oak Common.
