Maidenhead railway station is a railway station in the town of Maidenhead, Berkshire, England. The station is served by local services operated by First Great Western from London Paddington to Reading stations. Maidenhead is also the junction for the Marlow Branch Line. It has five platforms.
The station is on the original line of the Great Western Railway, which opened as far as Reading in 1840. In 1854, the Wycombe Railway Company built a line from Wycombe to Maidenhead, terminating on the station in Castle Hill. However, there was no station on the present site until 1871, when a local contractor called William Woodbridge built it. Originally, it was called "Maidenhead Junction", but eventually it came to replace the Boyne Hill station as well as another station on the Riverside. [1]
Maidenhead is the planned Western Terminus of Crossrail line one. The station shall undergo significant modification, including the replacement of the existing passenger waiting facilities, a new ticket hall, lifts, a new platform for Marlow branch line services, the introduction of overhead line equipment and the construction of new stabling and turnback facilities to the west of the station[citation needed].
