Slough Railway Station has been officially reopened following a £4.9 million, nine month upgrade.
Swimmer and Paralympic gold medallist Jeanette Chippington conducted the ceremony after a performance by Slough Music Service Choir.
The Grade II listed station has been redeveloped to include a new footbridge, lifts, information point, ticket hall, waiting room and toilets. The forecourt was also upgraded as part of a town regeneration scheme.
Slough deputy council leader James Swindlehurst said: "Given that Slough railway station is a major transport hub for the Olympic rowing events at Eton Dorney, we hope the improvements to the station will offer an enhanced travelling experience to the thousands of spectators and athletes expected to visit the area."
In addition to the improvements in the railway station's forecourt, the £450 Heart of Slough regeneration scheme has also funded a new bus station, cultural centre and office developments.
The station work was carried out by Network Rail and First Great Western. Slough was one 148 stations that received funding from a £370 government scheme to provide better access.
