It is 39 miles 66 chains (64.1 km) down the main line from London Waterloo [note 1] and is situated between Fleet and Hook. Trains typically run every 30 minutes between Waterloo and Basingstoke.
The London and South Western Railway (then London and Southampton railway) built a line from London to Southampton via Basingstoke. The railway arrived from Woking on 24 September 1838,and Winchfield station was opened as Shapley Heath as a temporary terminus. [1] [2] On 10 June the following year,the line was completed to Basingstoke and Shapley Heath became a through station. It was soon renamed as Winchfield after the village;the precise date of this is unknown,but it had occurred by November 1840. [3]
As with Hook and Farnborough Main,there is a wide gap between the platforms and their tracks. Originally an island platform stood in between them,but this has been removed. When the station was expanded so this platform could be built,one of the platforms was removed and rebuilt further away. Consequently,the current platforms have different style canopies.
