Micheldever railway station
Micheldever railway station, in the village of Micheldever Station, serves Micheldever and the surrounding area in Hampshire, England. It is a two-storey flint building with a canopy on all four sides. The station is on the South West Main Line, down the line from towards Southampton, and is managed by South Western Railway.
History
The station was originally named "Andover Road" until Andover got its own station. Following the construction of the station, a cluster of houses and small shops was built, creating the village known as Micheldever Station. No shops remain, though there is a tyre merchant and trailer supplier trading there.
Just prior to electrification of the line in 1967, the track layout was changed: the two side platforms were replaced by an island platform between the tracks.
Generally, a train leaves hourly in each direction. Trains towards London Waterloo call at Basingstoke, Farnborough (Main), Woking and Clapham Junction. Trains towards Portsmouth Harbour call at Winchester, Eastleigh, Hedge End, Botley, Fareham, Portchester, Cosham, Hilsea, Fratton and Portsmouth & Southsea. On Sundays they call at Winchester, Shawford and Eastleigh, where the train divides: the front part runs to Poole, calling at Southampton Airport Parkway, Southampton Central, Totton, Ashurst New Forest, Beaulieu Road, Brockenhurst, Sway, New Milton, Hinton Admiral, Christchurch, Pokesdown and Bournemouth. The rear part of the train travels to Portsmouth as described above.
Goods yard
There is a goods yard which served a Royal Air Force fuel and oil depot, built circa 1939 and closed circa 1995. The yard is still in use for rolling stock storage.
