Southampton Airport Parkway is a railway station on the South West Main Line, located in the south of Eastleigh in Hampshire, England. It is located 74chain66chain down the line from and is adjacent to Southampton Airport.
The station has two platforms. One is on the western side with the line running northbound towards London Waterloo, via Winchester, Basingstoke, Woking and Clapham Junction; services via Basingstoke to, Birmingham and the North West also leave from here. The southbound platform facilitates services towards Southampton, Bournemouth, Portsmouth and Weymouth.
The station opened with different structures as the Atlantic Park Hostel Halt in 1929, built by the Southern Railway and closed before the 1950s. In 1966, many of the present parts were built and services were resumed by British Rail as Southampton Airport (1966). The station was later renamed Southampton Parkway (1986) and Southampton Airport Parkway (1994).
Designed as a park-and-ride or Parkway station, facilities available include a ticket office, toilets, coffee shop, waiting area, and car parking. The station was upgraded in 2010 with a new footbridge with lifts to improve accessibility for disabled people costing £2 million as part of a wider £7 million investment in the airport. Additionally, lobbying was done to keep the station as a stop on all major routes in the service pattern, which was successful.[1]
