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.[3]
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.[4][5]
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.[6]
From 19th 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.
On 1 March 1937, a passenger train and a freight train collided at Langley. One person was killed and six were injured.[7]
The station is served by local services operated by the Elizabeth line. The typical off-peak service is:
Trains are formed of Class 345 Aventra trains with 9 cars, meaning that the platform is too short. Therefore, the rear 5 doors of Elizabeth line trains do not open at this station [8]
