Winchester Train Station

A nice wee train station that matches Winchester’s persona. Small, quaint and organised are the three words I would use to sum the place up. There’s 2 platforms, platform one serves all routes to London and platform two serves all other routes. Pretty straight forward. There’s a ticket office as well as two ticket machines where you can collect and buy tickets. Trains to London Liverpool street only take around 40 minutes.
On platform one there’s a small coffee shop serving hot drinks, snacks and a few savoury items. It’s right on the platform so you needn’t worry about missing your train.
This is a lovely wee, simple station. Even if you’re a first time visitor like myself you’ll find it easy to navigate.

Winchester railway station is a railway station in Winchester in the county of Hampshire, England. It is on the South Western Main Line and was known as Winchester City from 1949 – 67 to distinguish it from Winchester (Chesil) station.
Despite its prominence (most passenger trains stop here), the station only has two platforms. One is on the western side, with the line running in a northerly direction via Basingstoke, Woking and Clapham Junction, towards the terminal of London Waterloo. The other is on the eastern side, with the line running in a southerly direction, towards Eastleigh, where it splits and runs towards Southampton Central, Bournemouth and Weymouth or Portsmouth Harbour.
