Pangbourne railway station is a railway station serving the village of Pangbourne in the county of Berkshire, and across the River Thames the village of Whitchurch-on-Thames, in Oxfordshire. The station is served by local services operated by Great Western Railway.
History
The station is on the original line of the Great Western Railway, which was opened in stages: the portion between Reading and Steventon opened on 1 June 1840, and Pangbourne was the first station out of Reading.[1][2]
Description
Pangbourne station is located close to the village centre, with main station buildings on the opposite side of the railway to the village. It 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. 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 for engineering work, local stopping services cannot call at Pangbourne, and a replacement bus service is required.
Services
Pangbourne station is served by stopping services run by Great Western Railway between Reading and Oxford. Most of these services start or continue as semi-fast services between Reading and London Paddington, and run twice an hour throughout most of the day, but only hourly on Sundays. Typical journey times are approximately 10 minutes to Reading, 30 minutes to Oxford, and one hour to Paddington. As a result, a faster journey to London can often be achieved by means of a change at Reading.[3]
