Virginia Water railway station serves the village of Virginia Water, in Surrey, England. The station, and all trains serving it, are operated by South West Trains.

It is a junction station on the Waterloo to Reading Line; the "Chertsey Branch" to Weybridge leaves the main line here. The platforms are located on the junction: as can be seen from the photograph (taken facing southwards), trains from Weybridge and to Reading use either side of a V-shaped platform which provides cross-platform interchange; the junction of the tracks is at the London end of the station.

History

The line from Staines to Ascot, including this station, was opened by the London and South Western Railway on 4 June 1856; the section to Weybridge opened on 1 October 1866. Formerly a chord south of the station connected the Chertsey and Reading lines.

The station received a new station building in 1973, similarly treated to Wokingham and Sunningdale, from prefabricated concrete. The building is seen to the right of the photograph.
