Iver railway station is a railway station in the village of Richings Park, near Iver, Buckinghamshire, England. It is the first station outside Greater London on the Great Western Main Line.
History[]
The station is on the original line of the Great Western Railway which opened on 4 June 1838, however no station was provided at Iver until 1924.
William Stallybrass, Principal of Brasenose College, Oxford and Vice-Chancellor of Oxford University, died in a railway accident when he stepped out of a moving train near the station in 1948.[1] He was almost blind at the time.
Services[]
The station is served by local services operated by First Great Western from Paddington to Reading stations.
Future[]
The line through Iver is due to be electrified for the new Crossrail service starting in 2018 which provide Iver with cross-London services.[2]
The station is also potentially the site of a new Heathrow Hub railway station.[3]
