Beaulieu Road railway station is a railway station serving the village of Beaulieu in Hampshire, England. It is located on the South Western Main Line from London Waterloo to Weymouth.
The station was not originally intended to serve the village of Beaulieu (some three miles distant), but was a 'personal' station built for Lord Montagu as a concession for allowing the railway to be built over part of his Beaulieu Estate. A special signal would indicate to the train drivers that they should stop for the Lord and his guests.
Nowadays the station is served by local stopping services operated by South West Trains. These services are early morning, late evening, peak hour and Bournemouth terminating trains (on a Sunday). Visitors to the New Forest will find the services to Brockenhurst far more convenient.
