Wargrave railway station is a railway station in the village of Wargrave in Berkshire, England. The station is on the Henley-on-Thames branch line that links the towns of Henley-on-Thames and Twyford. It is served by local services operated by Great Western Railway, and is a ten-minute walk from Wargrave High Street.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Wargrave (WGV) )〕 The station has a single platform, which is used by trains in both directions and is long enough to accommodate a four coach train. There is a 30 space car park, but no station building other than a simple shelter. The station is unmanned, and tickets must purchased on the train.〔 ==History== When the Great Western Railway opened the Henley Branch Line on 1 June 1857, the only intermediate station was . The Great Western Railway provided no station at Wargrave; apparently it considered Twyford station close enough. After many complaints from the villagers the GWR opened a station in 1900. At the time the line was double, so two platforms and a footbridge were provided. The line was singled again in June 1961, rendering the second platform and footbridge redundant. The station retained its Great Western Railway building until 1988 when British Rail demolished it on the grounds that it was unsafe. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Wargrave railway station」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
