Virginia Water — Local services in Borough of Runnymede

Virginia Water railway station serves the village of Virginia Water, in Surrey, England. It is 23 miles 15 chains (37.3 km) down the line from London Waterloo. The station, and all trains serving it, are operated by South Western Railway.

The Waterloo to Reading Line and the Chertsey Branch Line join here with the platforms at the junction, as seen in the photograph (taken facing south). Trains from Weybridge and to Reading use either side of a V-shaped platform, allowing cross-platform interchange; the junction of the tracks is at the London end of the station. This station now has ticket barriers operational.

The line from Staines to Ascot including this station, was opened by the London and South Western Railway on 4 June 1856; the section to Weybridge opened on 1 October 1866. Formerly a chord south of the station connected the Chertsey and Reading lines.

The station received a new station building in 1973 by British Rail, similarly treated to Wokingham and Sunningdale, from prefabricated concrete. The building is at the right of the photograph.

Modernisation in recent years provides ticket barriers and a bridge for step free access to platforms, incorporating lifts.

Virginia Water station has four platforms. All services at Virginia Water are operated by South Western Railway.

Additional services, including trains to and from Camberley and Aldershot call at the station during the peak hours.

On Sundays, the stopping services between Weybridge and London Waterloo are reduced to hourly and southbound trains run to and from Woking instead...

This is my regular train station.

At the moment they are refurbishing the Public Toilets.

As I said to one of the workman it's about time as what they are currently doing should have been done 30 or 40 years ago.

I did have a query about a ticket that I had bought and the Lady in the the ticket office went out of her way to be as UNHELPFUL...
