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 staffed 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.

Services

Services at Bedhampton are operated by South Western Railway using Classes 444 and 450 EMUs. Southern also operate a limited service from the station using Class 377 EMUs

The typical off-peak service in trains per hour is:

• 1 tph to London Waterloo via Guildford
• 1 tph to Portsmouth Harbour

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

South Western Railway also operate a single late evening service to Southampton Central that runs directly from Bedhampton to Cosham. Southern also call a small number of trains here in the early mornings and late evenings.

On Sundays, Southern serve the station with an hourly service from Brighton to Portsmouth Harbour
