Grateley railway station serves the village ofGrateley,Hampshire, England, and the surrounding countryside. It is 72 miles 49 chains (116.9 km) down the line fromLondon Waterloo.[1] It is operated bySouth Western Railway.
The station opened on 1 May 1857. It was built3⁄4 mile (1.2 km) southwest of Grateley village,[2] near the hamlet ofPalestine, after the local landowner objected to it being built any closer.[3] Since then, a new settlement has grown up around the station.
On 5 June 1861, the Grateley station master was killed as a result of a driver and guard rushing to move freight wagons.[4]
The station has few facilities and is unstaffed. There is a self-service ticket machine on platform 1 and smartcard readers on both platforms. There are two car parks for the large number of commuters who use the station. Displays on each platform show the next two trains.[5][6]All trains are operated by South Western Railway.
South Western Railway operates an hourly service betweenLondon Waterloo andSalisbury with limited extensions toBristol Temple Meads,Exeter St Davids andYeovil Pen Mill. A seasonal service runs once each way on a Saturday between Waterloo andWeymouth, operating from late May to early September.[7]
Trains are once per hour each way on weekdays, then decreasing to once every two hours each way on Sundays.
