About: Basingstoke railway station   Sponge Permalink

An Entity of Type : dbkwik:resource/0HLkQJFGNbkp8uV_yXZwsw==, within Data Space : dbkwik.org associated with source dataset(s)

The station was opened by the London and South Western Railway as a temporary terminus when its line to Southampton reached Basingstoke from London. It became a through station when the section running north from Southampton was completed later in 1839. The intention to build a line from near Basingstoke to Bristol was dropped when the Great Western Railway was approved. The L&SWR did, however plan a line to Salisbury from Basingstoke but this was delayed by financial difficulties. Eventually, it was built reaching Andover in 1854 and Salisbury three years later, before being extended to become the West of England Main Line.
