Brockenhurst railway station is a railway station serving the town of Brockenhurst in Hampshire, England. It is located on the South Western Main Line from London Waterloo to Weymouth. It is also the junction of the Lymington Branch Line with the main line.
The station is primarily served by South West Trains, who operate fast and semi-fast trains from Waterloo to Weymouth, stopping services from Waterloo to Poole, and local stopping services to Lymington. In addition, CrossCountry operate services from Bournemouth to Manchester and Scotland via York. The Lymington Branch Line is operated as a "heritage" service using restored slam-door trains.
The station has an unusual luggage traverser bridge, which can be moved out over the track to give access to platform 1. It is mainly used for disabled passengers and at peak times for the large flow of students to Brockenhurst College.
The station has four platforms:
- Platform 1 - Up loop platform used by stopping services to Poole where it is overtaken by the express services to Weymouth and CrossCountry services to Bournemouth. This is occasionally used by Lymington services.
- Platform 2 - for through services towards Southampton, Winchester and London Waterloo.
- Platform 3 - for through services towards Bournemouth, Poole and Weymouth.
- Platform 4 - Down loop platform for Lymington services, this can also be used by other down services, but this is rare.
