Langley railway station is a railway station in Langley, a suburb of Slough, Berkshire, England.
The station is served by local services operated by Great Western Railway 16.25 miles (26.15 km) west of Template:LUL stations towards Reading. It is planned to be served by Crossrail from 2018.[1] Network Rail is developing plans for a new rail tunnel, leaving the Great Western main line just east of Langley, connecting to London Heathrow allowing a rail-air link from Reading.[2]
History
The station is on the original line of the Great Western Railway which opened on 4 June 1838, but the station at Langley was not opened until 1845.
From 1 March 1883, the station was served by District Railway services running between Template:LUL stations and Windsor. The service was discontinued as uneconomic after 30 September 1885.[3][4]
Adjacent to the station is the site of the former Langley Oil Terminal, last operated by EWS.
Accidents and incidents
On 1 March 1937, a passenger train and a freight train collided at Langley. One person was killed and six were injured.[5]
Services
There is a basic half-hourly Great Western Railway service (including Sundays) eastbound to Template:LUL stations and westbound to Reading and Oxford.[6]
