Langley railway station is a railway station in Langley, a suburb of Slough, Berkshire, England. It is 16.25 miles (26.15 km) west of Paddington towards Reading.
The station is served by local services operated by Great Western Railway. It is planned to be served by Crossrail from 2018.
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.
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.
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.
Adjacent to the station is the site of the former Langley Oil Terminal, last operated by EWS.
On 1 March 1937, a passenger train and a freight train collided at Langley. One person was killed and six were injured.
There is a basic half-hourly Great Western Railway service (including Sundays) eastbound to Paddington and westbound to Reading and Oxford.
