Fratton Station

Fratton is a station which serves the suburb of Fratton in Portsmouth, and also (as mentioned by others) Portsmouth FC’s nearby ground.
History
The station was opened in 1847 as part of an extension of the line from Brighton to Chichester known as the Chichester to Portsmouth Branch Railway, (which later also became part of the main line from London Waterloo via Guildford) and is the last station before Portsmouth and Southsea. Between 1885 and 1914 it was also the junction for the short-​lived Southsea Railway, which ran to the seafront at Southsea.
The station
The station has three platforms, and is currently being refurbished (there is a temporary ticket office and toilet adjacent to the car park). When completed, the toilets, ticket office and small café will reopen, but there is no waiting room. Other facilities include racks for 66 cycles and a small car park with 15 spaces. There is a new footbridge with lifts at the eastern end of the platform, providing step-​free access throughout.
Services
The station is served by frequent direct trains to London Waterloo, Southampton, Brighton and Bristol/​Cardiff via Salisbury. It is one of the recommended stations for changing trains from the East Coastway line to Brighton to and from services to Bristol and Cardiff. It is used by approximately 1.5m passengers a year.

Fratton station — easy access to Fratton, The Bridge Centre, Asda and of course Fratton Park for the football.
Fratton station get VERY busy on match days, they tend to open a side gate to keep supporters out of the way of the general traveller.
This station is a good pickup point f your have visitors arriving, and since all trains stop here before they go to Portsmouth and Southsea/​The Harbour, it can shorten peoples journeys a little.
There are usually taxis in a rank waiting outside the main building for easy transport once off the train too.

Fratton Station is on the mainline from Portsmouth to London, Brighton, Cardiff, Southampton and many other places. It is a small station with 3 platforms but, unfortunately, no lifts to get from one platform to the other. However, I believe there are plans to upgrade the disabled access in the near future.
The station has a ticket office as well as ticket machines inside and outside the station building.
There is a pay car park and some pay parking on the road.
This is the nearest station to Fratton Park for the football so, be warned, it gets very busy and noisy on match days.

Parking is chargeable and there is not a great deal of it.
This station is convenient for ASDA and of course Fratton Park. Theres a footbridge over the sidings to Fratton Park direction.
Most trains that carry on to Portsmouth Harbour and Portsmouth and Southsea stop here. If you want the town centre use Portsmouth & Southsea — this station is only suitable for Fratton shops & Fratton Park, or if you are being picked up it is more convenient.
Their are no barriers but I’ve regularly seen ticket inspectors out in numbers (which makes me feel happy about not susidising fare dodgers).
