Cookham railway station
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Cookham railway station is the railway station of the village of Cookham, Berkshire, England. The station is served by local services operated by First Great Western between Maidenhead and Marlow, and the station is located between Furze Platt and Bourne End stations.Cookham station and the line it is on date from the mid 19th century, with Wycombe Railway's busy branch from Maidenhead to High Wycombe, which eventually extended further north to Aylesbury and Thame. With the large scaling back of Britain's railways in the mid 20th century, the line north of Bourne End was closed in 1970, leaving the branch much quieter. The station now has only a single platform, but some of the remains of the station's once lavish facilities can be seen to the west.
The station's facilities are now rather basic; the platform lacks a shelter, the ticket office is only open in the morning peak and there is no ticket machine or PERTIS. When the ticket office is closed passengers should purchase a ticket on the train.
