Bitterne railway station is located in eastern Southampton. It is on the main Southampton to Portsmouth coastal line, and serves the suburbs of Bitterne, Bitterne Manor, Bitterne Park and Midanbury.
[edit] History
The station was opened in the 1860s as Bitterne Road railway station. The station itself is located a mile west of Bitterne village, although original plans for the railway line would have seen the railway pass right through the centre of the village.
[edit] Services
Most train services are operated by South West Trains, although one train operated by Southern stops here in the morning. Trains run hourly to Southampton Central and Portsmouth and Southsea, calling at all stations en route.
