Southampton Terminus railway station
- Southampton Terminus railway station
Southampton Terminus was a railway station which used to serve the docks and City Centre of Southampton, England. It was opened in 1840 as the original terminus of the London and Southampton Railway (a constituent of the London and South Western Railway) and closed to passengers by the Southern Region of British Railways in 1966. It was renamed "Southampton Docks" in 1858 and "Southampton Terminus" in 1923, by which time it was used primarily for local trains.
The Italianate architecture of the main building is by Sir William Tite. It is currently listed Grade II and used as a casino by Stanley Casinos. There was originally a train shed and six platforms. Some tracks running through the station to the docks are still maintained and used by regular but infrequent Pullman services meeting cruise ships, and even more occasional mail and freight trains.
Southampton's main railway station is now Southampton Central.
