Services
South Western Railway operates an hourly service (with peak extras) between London Waterloo and Salisbury with limited extensions to Bristol Temple Meads, Exeter St Davids and Yeovil Pen Mill.[1] Services call every two hours each way on Sundays, terminating eastbound at Reading instead of Basingstoke (which is the usual Monday to Saturday terminus).
Recent Developments
As of 25 May 2025, train services operating through Overton railway station have officially come under public ownership, following the transfer of South Western Railway (SWR) operations to a publicly owned entity. [2]
In line with Overton's Neighbourhood Development Plan (2025–2044), there are proposals to improve pedestrian access to the station, including enhanced signage on both sides of the railway along Overton Road and Andover Road.[3] Additionally, a proposed development by Bargate Homes, includes the construction of 130 new homes and a 15-hectare country park near Sapley Lane. The proximity of the new housing to Overton railway station, approximately a ten-minute cycle ride away, is highlighted as a key feature, promoting the use of public transport among residents.[4]
