Virginia Water railway station

The line from Staines to Ascot including this station, was opened by the London and South Western Railway on 4 June 1856; the section to Weybridge opened on 1 October 1866. Formerly a chord south of the station connected the Chertsey and Reading lines.

The station received a new station building in 1973 by British Rail, similarly treated to Wokingham and Sunningdale, from prefabricated concrete. The building is at the right of the photograph.

The station had until 2017 a bridge between the platforms at the north end of the station, making disabled access to platforms 2-4 very difficult. In 2017 a new bridge opened just south of the station building, incorporating lifts. All platforms are now accessible for wheel-chairs.

Ticket barriers are now in operation.

Virginia Water station has four platforms.

• Platform 1 - Semi-fast trains to London Waterloo via Richmond.
• Platform 2 - Trains to Reading.
• Platform 3 - Stopping service to London Waterloo via Hounslow.
• Platform 4 - Trains to Weybridge.

In trains per hour, Monday to Saturday, there are:

• 4 to London Waterloo, of which:
  • 2 are semi-fast, via Twickenham & Richmond
  • 2 are stopping via Hounslow
• 2 to Reading
• 2 to Weybridge,

On Sundays, the via Hounslow stopping trains run hourly & the two Weybridge locals are replaced by one to/from Woking calling at the same stations as far as Addlestone, then Byfleet and New Haw & West Byfleet.[1]
