Andover Railway Station - Layout

The entrances are on the South side of the station, which consists of a ticket office, a heated waiting room, three self-service ticket machines, a small counter selling hot drinks on the outside of the station, a bike locker, and a small shop. There are four entrances - one to the East of the ticket office, used when it is closed; the ticket office itself; an entrance to the West of the ticket office that was formerly used for a drinks van (now relocated to the counter on the outside of the station); and one from the car park, which often gets full on weekdays. This side of the station is platform 2, with trains going West to Salisbury and Exeter St Davids. Through a step-free subway immediately adjacent to the third entrance as listed above is platform 1, an island platform, which has trains going East to Basingstoke and London. Platform 1 has a waiting room, toilets and a passenger assistance office. In addition to this, there are two disused platforms. The first is a bay platform on the East side of platform 2, which used to serve as the platform to Redbridge on the Sprat and Winkle Line until the line was closed. The trackbed is still clearly visible, but the track itself has been removed. The second is on the other side of the island to platform 1, which used to serve as the platform to Swindon on the Midland and South Western Junction Railway. This platform still has track, as it is still used for military purposes to link with the depot in Ludgershall. Beyond this are disused sidings.
