Christchurch railway station is a station serving the town of Christchurch in Dorset (formerly Hampshire) in England. The station is on the London Waterloo to Weymouth line operated by South West Trains.
Although bypassed by the faster trains to Bournemouth it has a hourly semifast service from Waterloo, usually formed by a 442 Wessex Electrical multiple unit. This gives a journey time of about two hours from London. As well as Christchurch, the station is useful for reaching eastern parts of Bournemouth.
It is also on the local route from Brockenhurst to Wareham, a service which runs hourly in both directions.
