The DR built its own three-platform station (including a siding) to the north of the GWR one. However, following the installation of a connection between the two railways to the east of the stations, DR trains also served the GWR station from 1 March 1883 to 30 September 1885, on a short-lived service running to Windsor and Eton Central station.
From 20th May 2018 Until 24th May 2022 the station was managed by TfL Rail when it was officially rebranded the Elizabeth line.
