Railway Station

The historic town of Romsey has a well-​preserved and well maintained traditional railway station on the line from Salisbury to Southampton. It is used by over 330,000 passengers a year.
The station opened in 1847 on the line from Southampton to Salisbury (via Eastleigh). In 1865 the route from Andover to Southampton via Romsey and Redbridge opened, making Romsey a junction; also known as the Sprat and Winkle Line, it closed between Andover and Romsey in 1965, but the southern section from Romsey to Redbridge (on the Southampton-​Bournemouth line) remained to form the main Salisbury to Southampton line. The Eastleigh to Romsey line closed to passengers in 1967 but reopened in 2003, making Romsey a junction station once more.
It is served by the Cardiff/​Bristol to Portsmouth service (roughly hourly, half-​hourly at peak times) and the Salisbury-Romsey-Southampton-Chandler’s Ford-​Romsey service, which provides an hourly service in all directions (and thus provides two trains and hour to Southampton, one direct, and one via Chandler’s Ford, Eastleigh and Southampton Airport).
Facilities include a ticket office (open part time), ticket machines, toilets, waiting rooms, covered bicycle storage, a small café (open part-​time) and a small car park.
