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.

The typical off-peak service in trains per hour is:^[2]

• 1 tph to Littlehampton
• 2 tph to Portsmouth & Southsea
