Before Crossrail – Slough

Not A Station That Needs Friendly Bombs – Rating 7/10

Slough station is actually Grade 2 Listed, although today I didn’t have time to venture outside.

This is the Google Map of the station.

Slough Station – Downloaded 6th July 2015

Crossrail has big plans for Slough station and say this.

In recent years the southern forecourt to the Grade II listed station has been improved. In contrast, the northern forecourt is somewhat neglected and is poorly utilised as a public space and arrival point to the town. Most of the space is given over to car parking and the forecourt surfaces are of poor quality with little footway space.

The traffic at Slough would also appear to be very similar to that at Shenfield, in that some long-distance services stop to pick-up and set down passengers.

So I do wonder that after Crossrail opens, the pattern of services between Paddington and the West will change and the station becomes a more important interchange.
