Bedhampton railway station serves the former village of Bedhampton, now a suburb lying a mile west of the centre of Havant, in Hampshire, England.

History[]

Opened in 1906 as "Bedhampton Halt", the station was at first staffed separately but in the late 1940s it came under the control of Havant; since then it has been manned only part time.

In August 2007 the old platform surfaces were resurfaced, new shelters and a railway crossing were added, and Platform 1 (Havant bound) was extended to make it suitable for longer trains.

Facilities[]

The station has a ticket office on the Portsmouth bound platform which is staffed during weekday and Saturday mornings. At other, the station is unstaffed and tickets can be purchased from the self-service ticket machine at the station.

Both platforms are fitted with shelters and modern help points and there is also bicycle storage available at the station. Step-free access is available to both platforms at the station.[1]

Services[]

Services at Bedhampton are operated by South Western Railway and Southern using Class 313, 377, 444 and 450 EMUs.

During the peak hours, there are additional services to London Waterloo as well as services to Portsmouth Harbour, Brighton and London Victoria.

South Western Railway also operate a single late evening service to Southampton Central that runs directly from Bedhampton to Cosham.
