History
Opened as Lyndhurst Road on 1 June 1847 by the Southampton and Dorchester Railway,[1] then absorbed by the London and South Western Railway, it became part of the Southern Railway during the grouping of 1923.
The station was host to a Southern Railway camping coach from 1936 to 1939.[2]
The station then passed on to the Southern Region of British Railways on nationalisation in 1948. A camping coach was positioned here by the Southern Region from 1954 to 1960, the coach was replaced in 1961 by a Pullman camping coach until 1965 which was joined by another Pullman for 1966 and 1967.[3]
The station was renamed Ashurst New Forest on 24 September 1995.[1] When sectorisation was introduced in the 1980s, the station was served by Network SouthEast until the privatisation of British Railways.
On 5 April 2025 a Simon Chadwick mural was unveiled at the station as part of the Railway 200 celibrations.[4]
