The station was built by the LSWR and opened on 9 March 1847 on their line from Eastleigh to Salisbury. It became a junction in 1865 when the Andover & Redbridge Railway (also known as the Sprat and Winkle Line) was opened - this joined the earlier route just east of the station before diverging again at Kimbridge Junction a short distance to the north en route to Andover. The subway connecting the two platforms was added in 1887.
The Andover line fell victim to the Beeching Axe in September 1964,[2] whilst the Eastleigh route closed to passengers in May 1969 - however it remained open for freight traffic and as a useful diversionary route; it eventually regained a regular passenger service in May 2003.-Source Wikipedia
