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

[edit]

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

[edit]

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]
