History
The railway station was opened on 21 December 1847, on the first portion of what would become the Berks and Hants Line between Reading & Hungerford.[2]
Layout
Theale has three platforms, numbered 3, 1, 2 from north to south. The station originally had just 2, with a goods loop passing behind platform 1. As part of the Reading station upgrade project, the loop was upgraded to passenger standards and a new platform (numbered as 3) added in 2011.[3] Further work to upgrade facilities at the station were announced in 2013 by Network Rail and GWR (including new lifts, a new pedestrian entrance & accessible footbridge, extra car parking and a new ticket office), but the £2.9 million project has been delayed several times and by summer 2016 was running more than three years behind schedule.[4] The upgrade project showed fresh signs of life in 2021.[5]
