Earley railway station

It is 66 miles 1 chain (66.01 mi; 106.2 km) down the line from London Charing Cross via Redhill.

The station is accessed by an approach road from the nearby main road between Reading and Wokingham, and on this approach is a terrace of three single storey cottages that were built for the South Eastern Railway at the same time as the station, to house railway staff and their families.

[5][6] In 1939, the line through Earley station was electrified, on the DC third rail system, as part of the electrification of the Reading to London Waterloo service.

Trains on the original SER route to Guildford and Reigate continued to be steam hauled.

As a result of British Railways' 1955 Modernisation Plan, diesel traction replaced steam on the non-electrified services through Earley.
