Geocache Description:

This cache is not located at these coordinates, but it is within walking distance of Winnersh train station. 

 


The people of Winnersh have two options when heading home along the trains from London; either they go from Paddington and change at Reading, or go directly from Waterloo. When the line from Waterloo was first introduced, it only reached Woking, and work was focused upon completing the line to Brighton initially. It was in 1856 that the line joined with the Reading to Wokingham/Ascot line. Up until 1974, trains from Waterloo to Reading were combined with another train to Aldershot, which split at Ascot.

Today, there are 26 calling points from Waterloo to Reading. Future plans are in place to change the platforms which ran from Waterloo to Europe in the 1970’s into permanent platforms for this service. Therefore, more trains can be run along the line beginning in Waterloo before splitting on either the Reading or Aldershot line. Further work is also being done to include a stop at Heathrow airport, which would restore a connection from Waterloo and Winnersh to mainland Europe.
