The Wycombe Railway (WR), part of which now forms the greater portion of the Marlow branch line, opened between Maidenhead and High Wycombe in 1854 with the first station out of Maidenhead being Template:Rws.[1]

The Great Western Railway absorbed the Wycombe Railway in 1867[2] and opened "Furze Platt Halt" on 5 July 1937[3] to serve the area's growing population.[4] British Rail renamed the station "Furze Platt" on 5 May 1969.[3]

The single platform station has basic facilities including a waiting shelter, a customer help point, and a ticket office is open weekdays from 6:45 to 11:30.[5] The station is next to a level crossing on Harrow Lane, Maidenhead.
