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]
Services
[edit]Services at Bedhampton are operated by South Western Railway using Classes 444 and 450 EMUs. Southern also operate a limited service from the station using Class 377 EMUs
The typical off-peak service in trains per hour is:[2]
- 1 tph to London Waterloo via Guildford

During the peak hours, there are additional services to London Waterloo as well to Portsmouth Harbour.
South Western Railway also operate a single late evening service to Southampton Central that runs directly from Bedhampton to Cosham. Southern also call a small number of trains here in the early mornings and late evenings.
