History

The station is on the original line of the Great Western Railway which opened on 4 June 1838, but the station at Langley was not opened until 1845. The station building dates from 1878.[1]

From 1 March 1883, the station was served by District Railway services running between Mansion House and Windsor. The service was discontinued as uneconomic after 30 September 1885.[2][3]

Adjacent to the station is the site of the former Langley Oil Terminal, last operated by EWS.

The operation of the station was transferred to MTR Crossrail on behalf of Transport for London at the end of 2017.[4]

From 19 December 2019, the train services became part of TfL Rail in preparation for the Elizabeth line, which the services switched to on the 24th May 2022.

Accidents and incidents

On 1 March 1937, a passenger train and a freight train, hauled by a GWR 4300 Class 2-6-0, collided at Langley. One person was killed and six were injured.[5]

Future

Network Rail is developing plans for the Western Rail Approach to Heathrow. This is a new rail link to provide a direct service to the airport from Reading and Slough. The new line is proposed to leave the Great Western main line just east of Langley, connecting by tunnel to existing platforms at Heathrow's Terminal 5 station.[8]
