Southampton Airport Parkway railway station is a railway station located in Eastleigh in the county of Hampshire in England.

The station comprises two platforms. One is on the western side, with the line running in the northern direction via Winchester, Basingstoke, Woking, and Clapham Junction, towards the terminal of London Waterloo. The other is on the eastern side, with the line running in the southern direction, towards Southampton, Bournemouth, and Weymouth.

The station is very well connected with the rest of the United Kingdom's transport network: it is situated directly next to Southampton Airport and the M3 and M27 motorways, and virtually all passenger services stop here.

[edit] History

Opening as the Atlantic Park Hostel Halt in 1929, this station was renamed Southampton Airport Halt then Southampton Parkway (in 1986), with a final name change in the 1990s to Southampton Airport Parkway.
