The Staines, Wokingham & Woking Junction Railway (SW&WJR) opened a line between Staines and Wokingham (Staines Junction) on 9 July 1856. The London and South Western Railway (LSWR) worked the SW&WJR and was authorised to run over the SER to Reading. [5] This gave Wokingham a direct route to London Waterloo.
The decision was taken following a rise in crime and anti-social behaviour in the disused site surrounding the station and due to a decrease in passenger numbers as a result of the site's closure. The station has not been formally closed as Abellio ScotRail have stated that services could resume if the site is redeveloped. [11] [12]
At Wokingham the line would connect to the Reading, Guildford and Reigate Railway; running powers would get trains to Reading. [1] The SW&WJR opened from Staines to Ascot on 4 June 1856. Williams says that the continuation to Wokingham was held back until 9 July 1856 to prevent the SER from profiting from the Ascot race traffic.
A goods yard was constructed at the station in 1859-60. [97] Wokingham Junction was created in 1856, when the line from Ascot opened. A Class 166 heads towards Guildford after departing from Wokingham station. Several connections between the North Downs Line and other lines were created in the second half of the 19th century.
