Services
Burnham Station is served by First Great Western Class 165 and Class 166 trains towards London Paddington and Reading. Services often extend to Banbury, Didcot Parkway, Oxford and Newbury during peak hours.
Burnham is used as one of the main stops for passengers who commute to and from Slough Trading Estate, and there are more trains towards Paddington (up to one every 12 minutes) and several trains towards Reading at peak hours. There are hourly services on Sundays, which do not call at Taplow. Unusually for a station on the Great Western Main Line, Burnham was built with platforms that serve only the relief lines, which makes it vulnerable to losing services when engineering work closes the relief lines and leaves trains only on the main lines. Consequently the station is frequently served by a replacement bus service at night.
There are no plans at present to provide High Speed Services at this station.

Famous quotes containing the word services:
“Civil servants and priests, soldiers and ballet-dancers, schoolmasters and police constables, Greek museums and Gothic steeples, civil list and services list—the common seed within which all these fabulous beings slumber in embryo is taxation.”
—Karl Marx (1818–1883)
“Men will say that in supporting their wives, in furnishing them with houses and food and clothes, they are giving the women as much money as they could ever hope to earn by any other profession. I grant it; but between the independent wage-earner and the one who is given his keep for his services is the difference between the free-born and the chattel.”
—Elizabeth M. Gilmer (1861–1951)
“O, the difference of man and man!
To thee a woman’s services are due.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
