Trains to Tilehurst - Station Details and further Information on Tilehurst Train Services
Tilehurst train station is a train station in the suburb and former village of Tilehurst to the west of Reading in England. The station is served by local services operated by First Great Western.
Tilehurst station is situated on the extreme northern edge of the rather sprawling suburb of Tilehurst, and at a much lower level than most of that suburb. The railway line and station are squeezed into a rather narrow strip of land between the A329 road and the River Thames, with the up relief platform on an embankment above the river bank.
The station has four platforms, one on each of the fast and relief (slow) lines, although the platforms on the fast lines see little use. The platforms are linked to each other and the station entrance, on the down fast platform, by a footbridge.
Tilehurst station is served by stopping services run by First Great Western 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 5 minutes to Reading, 35 minutes to Oxford, and just under one hour to Paddington. |
