<span class="mw-page-title-main">Ascot lines of the London and South Western Railway</span>

The Ascot lines of the London and South Western Railway were formed of a line from Staines to Wokingham, and another from Ascot to Aldershot East Junction. The London and South Western Railway was operating trains from London to Staines and Windsor in 1850. An independent but friendly railway company, the Staines, Woking and Wokingham Junction Railway built a line from Staines to Wokingham, where it connected with the Reading, Guildford and Reigate Junction Railway. The Staines company had running powers giving it access to Reading. It never built the Woking part of the network in its title. The opening of the line in 1856 gave the LSWR the opportunity to run throughout from London to Reading
