Description
The station is in the village of Goring-on-Thames, some five minutes walk from Goring and Streatley Bridge which connects the village with the Berkshire village of Streatley, across the River Thames. The station is adjacent to and to the east of the village centre.
The station has platforms on each of the main and relief (slow) lines, although the platforms on the main lines see little use. The station frontage building is to the east of the station, alongside the London bound relief platform, and there is a large car park, to the south of the station building. There are also two pedestrian entrances directly onto the western, down fast platform, one of which links to Goring village centre. Access between the platforms is via steps and a footbridge. There is access to the fast line platform (London bound).

Famous quotes containing the word description:
“Once a child has demonstrated his capacity for independent functioning in any area, his lapses into dependent behavior, even though temporary, make the mother feel that she is being taken advantage of....What only yesterday was a description of the child’s stage in life has become an indictment, a judgment.”
—Elaine Heffner (20th century)
“The type of fig leaf which each culture employs to cover its social taboos offers a twofold description of its morality. It reveals that certain unacknowledged behavior exists and it suggests the form that such behavior takes.”
—Freda Adler (b. 1934)
“He hath achieved a maid
That paragons description and wild fame;
One that excels the quirks of blazoning pens.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
