Burnham Station, according to the Bucks Free Press.
Logged
William Huskisson MP▸ (Member of Parliament, or Mile Post (a method of measuring the railway in miles and chains from a starting point - usually London), depending on context) was the first person to be killed by a train while crossing the tracks, in 1830.  Many more have died in the same way since then.  Don't take a chance: Stop, Look, Listen.

"Level crossings are safe, unless they are used in an unsafe manner."  Discuss.

Alterations to services between London Paddington and Slough
Due to a safety inspection of the track between London Paddington and Slough some lines will be blocked.
Train services running to and from these stations may be delayed or revised. Disruption is expected until 13:45 10/06.

Doesn't seem to be causing significant issues at the moment but the disruption until guestimate has been extended from 11:15 to 13:45 so far...

Delays to services between Twyford and Maidenhead

Due to a safety inspection of the track between Twyford and Maidenhead trains have to run at reduced speed on the line towards London Paddington.

Train services running through these stations may be delayed by up to 10 minutes. Disruption is expected until the end of the day.

Customer Advice
A small section of the railway line between Reading and London Paddington is closed whilst Network Rail carry out a safety inspection. GWR▸ (Great Western Railway) can still run trains safely, as other tracks are available for use, but this will lead to some congestion and slower running as trains make their way through.
