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.
