Swanwick station is generally served by slow, stopping trains, running east-west along the coast. There are a few good connections to London via Havant. Southampton Parkway is the best choice for fast trains to London. All trains stop here. Normally, the trains which are newer and in better condition start at Weymouth. For regular travelers to London, there are trains at 6:52 and 7:12 which are normally in good condition. On the return journey, the Weymouth trains are better, but are normally more crowded. The 18:05 from Waterloo is generally far less crowded than the 17:45, but the it is generally made up of older rolling stock. However, you are more likely to get a seat on this train. Note that this is a very congested route into London, and you should expect delays on some of your journeys, if traveling regularly on this route. Analysis of personal experience during February and March 1999, shows that 20% of services were more than five minutes late arriving at Waterloo, or at Southampton Parkway, If you have information you would like to share on this particular topic, please E-mail The car park at Southampton Parkway is massive, but expensive (around four pounds per day). Note that the car park is only free on Sundays. A car park for half the price is available at Eastleigh station, but the car park is much smaller. However, space is normally available up to about 9:00 in the morning. Not all fast trains stop here. Eastleigh is also a connecting station with trains to Fareham, via Botley and Hedge End. Fareham station is a good alternative for the east-west route, or trains to London via Eastleigh (to Waterloo)or Havant (to Victoria). Note than many trains stop at Clapham Junction, except during peak times. This can make it easy to get a train to Victoria, if you get off a Waterloo-bound train at Clapham Junction. Trains depart from Clapham Junction to both Waterloo and Victoria about every seven minutes. If you want to economise on regular travel to London, there is another option. Drive a car to Hook station (the Hook M3 exit is just after the second Basingstoke exit on the M3 northbound). Hook station is about half a mile from the M3, via an easy route. The fare and car parking is half the cost from Parkway, but the train is a semi-fast train and takes about 45 minutes to get to London. The train gets crowded, but you will get a seat boarding the train at Hook. Railtrack - Journey Calculator Southwest Trains (Can be a slow site to access)
