The station remained as part of the Great Western Railway (GWR) until railway nationalisation in 1948. After the sectorisation of British Rail in 1982 the station became part of Network SouthEast until the privatisation of British Rail. From 1996 services were provided by Thames Trains until the franchise was merged with First Great Western. Thatcham Ordnance DepotIn 1940 the 332nd Engineer General Service Regiment of the United States Army built an ordnance depot next to the main line just west of the station. This included a number of sidings that were used for the delivery of equipment.[3] After the Second World War the site was developed as a base for what later became the Royal Logistics Corps and had a number of steam locomotives used for shunting.{{citation needed|date=November 2011}} The base was closed in 1999 and its site has now been developed as a housing estate.[4] Current LayoutThatcham station has two platforms, one on each side of the main line. At the eastern end of the station there is a footbridge over the line, replacing the old footbridge that was located at the western end.[5] At the western end of the platform there is a level crossing. On the up platform is a ticket office that is open Mondays to Saturdays and two access points to the station car park. On the north side of the line west of the station is a Royal Mail sorting office next to where the ordnance depot used to be. On the down platform is a small shelter and access to a small car park. The Kennet and Avon Canal runs parallel to the station and can be reached from the road at the western end of the station. During 2018 the station was closed for periods[6] as part of the electrification project bringing overhead electric cables to the Reading to Taunton line, which in turn will allow the running of the new Hitach built British Rail Class 800 trains.[7] References1. ^{{NRtimes|May 2016|116}} 2. ^{{cite web |url= http://web.ukonline.co.uk/cj.tolley/cjt-brhm.htm |archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20081206131552/http://web.ukonline.co.uk/cj.tolley/cjt-brhm.htm |archivedate = 6 December 2008|title=Basingstoke Railway History in Maps |publisher=Christopher Tolley |date= 2001|accessdate= 20 February 2015}} 3. ^{{cite book |last=Robertson |first=K |year=1987 |title= The Last Days of Steam in Berkshire |location=Stroud |publisher=Alan Sutton Publishing |isbn= 0-86299-395-4}} 4. ^Thatcham Town Council timeline {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120303100811/http://www.thatchamtowncouncil.gov.uk/documents/info/Timeline.pdf |date=3 March 2012 }} 5. ^AMCO Project for Thatcham Railway Station Footbridge{{dead link|date=January 2019}} 6. ^[https://www.gwr.com/travel-updates/planned-engineering/newbury2018 Newbury is going Electric] 7. ^[https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-31831603 InterCity 125 v Hitachi: What are the UK's new trains like?] External links{{commons category|Thatcham railway station}}{{stn art lnk|THA|RG194NU}}{{Railway stations in Berkshire}} 6 : Railway stations in Berkshire|Former Great Western Railway stations|Railway stations opened in 1847|Railway stations served by Great Western Railway|Thatcham|1847 establishments in England |
