The first section of the Great Western Railway (GWR), between the original station at Paddington and the original station at Maidenhead, opened on 4th June 1838 as Maidenhead Riverside. The station was the terminus of the Great Western Railway for just over a year until the opening of Maidenhead Railway Bridge and the line to Twyford on 1st July 1839. The station was renamed Maidenhead & Taplow in August 1854. With the opening of the present Maidenhead station 1st November 1871, Maidenhead & Taplow station was renamed Taplow. It was closed less than a year later on 1st September 1872, when a new Taplow station was opened at its current location to the east of the old one. The station became part of TfL Rail at the end of 2017 in preparation for the opening of the Elizabeth Line. This view looks eastwards. The next station in this direction is Burnham.
