Services
The station is managed by First Great Western, which runs services southeastward to Southampton Central, Portsmouth, and Brighton, and northwestward to Salisbury, Bristol, and Cardiff. Also, South West Trains operates a "figure of six" service running from Salisbury to Romsey and Southampton via Redbridge, then to Eastleigh and back to Romsey via Chandlers Ford.
There was a rail-bus link operated on behalf of South West Trains by parent company Stagecoach Group, this was numberd as the X66 and linked the station with Winchester railway station via Ampfield. The service ceased on 28 July 2008 when South West Trains withdrew its subsidy citing lack of use despite a protest group having formed and collecting a petition of over 1,000 signatures to oppose the closure. Stagecoach continue to operate 2 of the morning peak services which were profitable alongside the existing hourly non rail link services.
