Trains to Wokingham - Station Details and further Information on Wokingham Train Services
Wokingham train station is a train station in the town of Wokingham in Berkshire, England. It is situated at the junction of the Waterloo to Reading line with the North Downs Line. The station is managed by South West Trains, who provide services along with First Great Western.
There are several level crossings that are encountered from Wokingham on the Waterloo route between there and Bracknell. The principal crossing adjacent to the station had its barriers first brought into use in 1976. A footbridge is also provided for pedestrians when the crossing is being traversed by trains. Originally it was built from old double-head rails, but has been replaced by a more modern angular design.
South West Trains operate services between London Waterloo and Reading: these run every 30 minutes Monday to Saturday, and every 60 minutes on Sundays.
First Great Western operate an hourly semi-fast service between Reading and Gatwick Airport and an hourly stopping service between Reading and Redhill, giving a total service frequency of about two trains per hour on this route off-peak.
Wokingham station is an important interchange for passengers between the Waterloo-Reading line and the North Downs Line. Virgin Trains, later CrossCountry, services also used the line through Wokingham as a diversionary route to Gatwick Airport/Bournemouth from Reading, with the occasional train from Guildford, although these trains do not stop at Wokingham. However, these services are becoming lesser of a sight on this route. |
