Notes
Passenger statistics from the Office of Rail & Road

Earley railway station serves the Berkshire town of Earley, England. It is 66 mileschain (66.01 mi; 106.2 km) down the line from London Charing Cross via Redhill.[1] It is on the Waterloo to Reading Line, and forms the last stop before the terminus of the line at Reading.

The station has two side platforms, on either side of the twin track line. A large two-storey station building is situated on the Reading-bound (westernmost) platform. The two platforms are linked by a footbridge over the tracks, and the London-bound platform has a waiting room. The station is accessed by an approach road from the nearby main road between Reading and Wokingham, and on this approach is a terrace of three single storey cottages that were built for the South Eastern Railway at the same time as the station, to house railway staff and their families.
