Burnham railway station is the railway station for Burnham, Buckinghamshire, England, although it lies in Haymill, a ward of Slough, about half a mile to the south of Burnham proper. Originally in Buckinghamshire the station moved into the county of Berkshire when county boundaries were realigned in 1974.
The station is served by local services operated by Great Western Railway from Paddington to Reading stations. The station is on the Great Western Main Line, the original line of the Great Western Railway. From opening on 1 July 1899, the station was named Burnham Beeches, becoming Burnham (Bucks) from 1 September 1930 to 5 May 1975, and then purely Burnham, although National Rail variously refers to the station as Burnham (Bucks) and Burnham (Berks). The station was closed as a First World War economy measure from 2 April 1917 to 3 March 1919.
The station is situated about half a mile south of Burnham Village and around a mile north of the village of Cippenham and is the closest station to Slough Trading Estate.
Burnham Railway Station has a fully staffed ticketing office which is open 7 days a week. There is also a new self-service ticket machine, which replaced one that thieves attempted to break into in 2007. This machine accepts cash, debit and credit cards.
The station has a waiting room which is open during ticket office opening hours. Seating is also available under canopies on each platform.
Car parking facilities are around 100 metres away, in a car park operated by APCOA. Parking permits are sold to ticket holders individually from the station, or season ticket holders may purchase tickets from APCOA.
Burnham Station is served by Great Western Railway Class 165 and Class 166 trains towards London Paddington and Reading.
