Maidenhead station
Although it was on the original line of the Great Western Railway, which opened as far as Reading in 1840, Maidenhead station did not open on its present site until 1st November 1871. The original Maidenhead station lay east of the River Thames, close to the present Taplow station. This was the line's first terminus, pending the completion of Maidenhead Railway Bridge across the Thames. The line from Maidenhead to High Wycombe was opened in 1854 but this now just runs to Marlow, trains having to reverse at Bourne End.
In this view from the down platform, the two fast lines are just ahead. The station building on the other side of the tracks is now disused as trains do not stop at this platform.

Maidenhead Station
For those interested, Maidenhead used the station printed Edmondson tickets till the 80s like some others on the Paddington line, which printed the ticket details on blank cards as required rather than the pre-printed type which had to be ordered in batches in advance and may hang about for decades in stock.
