Micheldever railway station

Micheldever railway station, in the village of Micheldever Station, serves Micheldever (approximately 2 mi to the south) and the surrounding area in Hampshire, England. It is a flint building with an added veranda. The station is on the South West Main Line, 58 mi down the line from London Waterloo towards Southampton and is managed by South Western Railway. The station is near the A303 Basingstoke to Andover road approximately 2.5 mi from the village.

History
It was originally called "Andover Road" until Andover got its own station. Following the construction of the station, a cluster of houses and small shops (including the Canada Stores) were attracted to the area, creating the village known as Micheldever Station. No shops remain, though there is a tyre merchant and trailer supplier trading there.

Electrification
Just prior to electrification of the line in 1967 the track layout was changed when the two side platforms were replaced by an island platform between the tracks.

Service patterns
Generally a train leaves hourly in each direction. Trains towards London Waterloo call at Basingstoke, Farnborough (Main) (Mondays-Saturdays only), Woking (every day) and Clapham Junction (Sundays only).

Goods yard
