Chandler's Ford railway station serves the Chandler's Ford area of Eastleigh in Hampshire, England. It is on the Eastleigh to Romsey Line, 75 miles 25 chains (121.2 km) measured from London Waterloo.

History

The station was opened as a halt by the London and South Western Railway in 1847. The station was also used for transport of bricks manufactured nearby, for which a siding was provided. Passenger services were withdrawn by British Rail in May 1969, although occasional diverted trains and railtours continued to use the line, passing through the station without calling.

Chandler's Ford was reopened for passenger traffic on 18 May 2003, though the new station building was not completed until later that year. It was officially opened on 18 October 2003 by the television gardening presenter Charlie Dimmock, who originates from the area. The original station had two platforms, but the new station has only one, as the line is now single-track only.

Services

Since reopening in 2003, the typical off-peak service is one train per hour to Romsey, and one train per hour to Salisbury via Southampton Central.

Connections

Chandler's Ford station is also served by buses on the Bluestar 1 between Southampton and Winchester via Bassett and Compton.
