History
The railway through Hook was built in 1839, but Hook railway station did not open until 1883, after a lengthy campaign by local landowners. The London and South Western Railway had it built in its typical style. It was built with two platforms and two tracks, and was expanded to four platforms and tracks in 1901–04 when the London to Basingstoke line was quadrupled. The middle island platform was removed in about the 1960s.
In 1940, a bomb landed on the tracks a short distance from the station. Six soldiers were ordered to dispose of the bomb, to prevent it from damaging the tracks. The bomb exploded, killing the six soldiers and injuring their sergeant. A group of local people has arranged to have a memorial plaque to them displayed in the station.[1][2]
