Trains to Burnham - Station Details and further Information on Burnham Train Services
Burnham train station is the train station for Burnham, Buckinghamshire in England, although it lies in Cippenham, a suburb of Slough, about half a mile to the south of Burnham proper. The station is served by local services operated by First Great Western from London Paddington to Reading stations. The station is on the Great Western Main Line, the original line of the Great Western Railway.
The station is situated about half a mile south of Burnham Village and around a mile north of the village of Cippenham. Burnham Railway Station has a fully staffed ticketing office which is open 7 days a week. There is also a self-service ticket machine. The station has a waiting room which is open during ticket office opening hours. Seating is also available under canopies on each platform.
Car parking facilities are around 100 metres away, in a car park operated by APCOA. Parking permits are sold to ticket holders individually from the station, or season ticket holders may purchase tickets from APCOA.
Burnham Station is served by First Great Western Class 165 and Class 166 trains towards London Paddington and Reading. Some services extend to Banbury, Didcot Parkway, Oxford and Newbury during peak hours.
Burnham is used as one of the main stops for passengers who commute to and from Slough Trading Estate, and there are an increased number of trains towards Paddington (up to one every 12 minutes approx.) and a varying number of trains towards Reading at peak hours. There are hourly services on Sundays, which do not call at Taplow. Unusually for a station on the Great Western Main Line, Burnham was built with platforms only on the relief lines. This makes it vulnerable to losing services when engineering work closes the relief lines leaving trains only serving the main lines. |
