Woolston railway station is a grade II listed[1] station serving the suburb of Woolston in the city of Southampton, England. The station is operated by South Western Railway. Just past Woolston station the line rounds the River Itchen giving a view across the city of Southampton, including Southampton FC's ground.
History
The station was built in 1866 in an Italianate style typical of William Tite who designed other stations for the London & South Western Railway company.[2][3] A single track line was operated by the Southampton & Netley Railway to serve the Royal Victoria Military Hospital at Netley, which station was also built in an Italianate style.[4]
The station, with a train waiting in it, was bombed during a raid on the Spitfire works at Woolston during the Second World War, and suffered damage.[5] The station's extensive goods yard and brick shed was closed in 1967.[6] In June 2010 the former Southern Railway concrete footbridge bridge at the west end of the station was replaced.
