Layout and facilities

The station has three platforms, two in the southbound direction. It previously had a goods yard, but this was closed and sold in the 1990s. The station is unstaffed.[1]

Shawford receives an hourly service in each direction on weekdays (with peak extras), with less frequent services on Saturdays and Sundays.[2][3] The hourly Winchester to Bournemouth stopping trains provide services between Monday and Saturdays off-peak, in other times trains between London Waterloo and Portsmouth Harbour stops here.

Accidents and incidents

  • On 20 July 1952, a passenger train, hauled by SR Lord Nelson Class 4-6-0 No. 30854 Howard of Effingham, overran signals and was derailed by trap points. No-one was injured.[4]

Appearances in media

The station was featured briefly in a 1974 film starring Sophia Loren, an unsuccessful and now little-seen remake of Brief Encounter.[citation needed]

In 2000, Shawford was used on the final episode of the BBC TV series One Foot in the Grave. The character Victor Meldrew is seen walking from the steps down from the station platform. He then stands in front of the station sign, waiting to be picked up, before being run over by a car.[5]
