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.

[edit] 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.

The line through Iver is due to be electrified for the new Crossrail service starting in 2017.

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.

The station is served by local services operated by First Great Western from London Paddington to Reading stations.
