Reviews of Southampton Central Station
Enjoyed our 1 overnight stay at this hotel. No fault to find with facilities and staff. Wee bit disappointed that the bar wasn't open at lunchtime, but, other than myself, there probably wasn't much demand for it. Would definitely stay here again if joining a cruise from Southampton.
Made short journey from this station just last weekend.Very well run much better that in the 1970s when I was a regular. Announcer made regular updates on train due in and platform changes also made sure passengers were standing behind yellow line.All staff very helpful when purchasing tickets from machines and all train information displayed on the numerous TV screens.How could you go wrong 😀
Up to date information boards and verbal announcements as well as helpful staff especially those offering special assistance and the GWR guards. Well- stocked cafe on Platform 1 with freshly prepared baguettes and offers on coffee and pastries as well as a separate takeaway buffet. It'll be better when the lifts have been serviced and are back in operation.
Clean and nice food available. Staff amazing and very helpful.
Shame no left luggage place as I missed my train and had to wait 2 hours for the nxt one.
Exit involves going over bridge from central platforms. To then have to swerve your way down another crowded platform to reach exit from station. Think this needs to be looked at as there is possibility of station redesign which would improve the station and customer experience.
busy little station, easy to get around form platform to platform, the stairs can get a bit conjested but its a lot better than any london station. thhe shops are nice, the staff have always been friendly and helpful. the trains usually leave on time so show up early
Not alot I can say as it is a railway station. Seems clean and tidy. Staff knowledgeable and were very helpful to a lady whose ticket didn't want to work.
Had some difficulty with scanning our tickets. Lovely guy I think he was the main man who helped us.
Very professional, kind and helpful.
Parked all day for £5.20.
Could do with a revamp and better entry and access to the parking at the back of the station. There is poor lighting in the evening if you are walking about towards the car park on the front of the station.
Southampton Central Station is a busy station with out a doubt they have plenty of stuff that I find are happy to help some have a attude!! The thing I find with Southampton central train station is its always got yobs hanging out side that will pester you for money or cigarettes so be careful,
Very good Station, lots of Cafes to choose from, Good Toilet Facilites on every platform, easy station to get to from Claphsm Junction, direct train journey.
Bog standard station. Helpful staff. The roof is in a terrible state of repair cladding on sides is falling apart. Needs redoing asap. Before pieces fall of and injure someone.
Good Station to Southampton Cruise 🛳 Port
Hate trains, always think I. Going to get on wrong one but, staff here helped me gave me a small print out of my journey.. so kind and helpful
Great station as it's 10 minutes walk from Dr of the best views of cruis ships you can get
Well presented and tidy station
Good amount of relevant information that you’d expect to find in a train station
There were ample facilities and waiting areas available, good amount of regular trains to popular destinations
Staff is very helpful, the only issue is just a few litters around. Otherwise it's just a normal station, you can buy a nice coffe and almond croissant for £4
Well staffed, and everything is always functioning. Easy for taxi and uber pickups at main and rear entrance. Well run station.
Great little station,only a few minutes from cruise terminal.
Seems like a nice station. They had a good quantity of staff available to deal with any issues as we went on match day.
Well appointed station with disabled access toilets,heated waiting room and cafe, with free drinking water refills in the waiting room
A day mooching. Was great, good places to eat and all sorts of shopping. A great park to chill at the back of primark
Very good atmosphere for passengers, automatic ticket machine helps to save my valuable time every day....
It has an INSANE kids zone! Look at all the fun you can have on the step and white board combo! 😂. Jokes aside, I think its that way due to covid restrictions.
The Train station is just an average uk train station. It has trains and coffee shops through all platforms. With a starbucks and costa outisde of gate platform 1. Staff have always been extremely helpful whenever needed
It's the best place to catch a train in southampton. With good connections and services to other towns and cities in England.
Great station and location. Very clean and staff very helpful.
Only used Southampton central to change train from Bournemouth as Baggage handlers at Gatwick were having a meltdown.
Easy to walk around, plenty of signs. Not sure how practical the station is for the disabled, but for everyone else it’s okay.
Station is not bad and local to all but don't buy anything from the Pumpkin as I've been a victim of mugging that was more polite and less expensive that that store!!
Not very clean, not very organised, then again I'm used to trains in and around London. Whatever you do don't take a crosscountry train, they will be overbooked, dirty, and definitely no WiFi on board. Other than that, the station is okay
A bit quiet right now
It is nice place. It has nice toilets and waiting rooms. It also has nice coffee shops while waiting train.
Decent facilities. Fairly clean. Very busy at times
Clean staff friendly and helpful, trains running on time.
Great accessibility, good size platforms, friendly staff
Could think of better places to be to spend 2 hours waiting for a train on a Sunday afternoon.
Good facilities, passport photo booth, good coffee👍🏻
Clean with helpful staff and plenty of information boards.
All well organised with 90% of passengers wearing masks. Constant reminders to wear masks was put out. A safe place to go!
To be fair it is a train station so I can't wax lyrical about it! Unfortunately it doesn't have a friendly feel and I have witnessed a few fights break out, never broken up by staff. Having said that the staff are friendly and j would like to think if somebody was being attacked they would step in.
Plenty of places to get some food or coffee, also a great pasty shop! Warm(ish) dry places to wait indoors, without needing to buy a coffee.
As a train station it does its job, but it us not the sort of place you want to hang around in.
It serves a purpose have found the staff there very helpful but Friday and Saturday nights tend to be full of drunks and had a few confrontations here
Brilliant place. Saw lots of trains.
Nice station, gives you access to many routes across the UK. Toilet facilities could be expanded and cleaned more, but it's a great station, and has lots of freight running through for the keen rail enthusiast!
Good station plenty of trains and destinations
Helpful staff, very helpful in sorting out alternative travel due to recent disruptions
Kind staff always willing to help if you are ever confused.
A lovely station with very helpful staff
What more can I say than its a train station. Busy but staff are very friendly. Easy to see where platforms and departure boards are. Long platforms and plenty of waiting space.
Has a cafe, toilets, warm waiting room (went during the winter). Good station.
Machine eats your tickets if its your final destination
Helpful friendly staff, clean and tidy
Kind staff, solid location, be wary of getting out the wrong side!
Really friendly helpful staff.. clean and tidy station.. Shame all electrical sockets and telephone charger points don't work in the waiting room especially when you have opted for e-tickets !
It's a great place to catch trains from, you can go to Wales, London or 'The North'. Often at the weekends though they replace trains with buses. 🤷♂️
Caught the train to gunwharf quays better than driving there good day out
Helpful staff directed me to ticket machine and helped me get my ticket. Bought coffee and snack and waited for train. Clear information on electronic screens.
Helpful staff at very busy times
Very helpful staff. Helped me get to my train on time
Southampton Station very nice and clean, close to shopping centre recommended.
It is what it is
The gent at the ticket kiosk was a great help thank you 😊
Didn't hang around for long as my train came within a few minutes. But looked clean & tidy. Was very busy.
Easy to navigate but the coffee shops are all closed. There are two sides if you are arriving by taxi. There are still two sides if you arrive on foot or by any other means!
Quite a clean station and close to the Mayflower theatre too.
Went to Bath! Lovely staff and a place to sit. Toilet are bad like all train station toilets
It is a train station with some retail shops on it like WH Smith and a sandwich shop it also has a ticket office and ticket vending machines not sure what time it opens and closes but it does have 2 entrances depending on what part of the town you need.
The station offers all you need, although it's dated and tired as most are in the UK.
Clean n helpful staff
It is not a place to visit. The station is cleaned, people are ok and the trains are most on the times on time.
The trains are cleaned, not always people are wearing masks oe keeping the social distance
Very clean and tidy station, signs everywhere and easy to read. Staff were very helpful and polite
Good station with friendly staff
No trains running to warminster had to rely on busses
Pretty straight forward platforms. Better when it's not over crowded. Luckily there are coffee chops near by.
Beautiful station, close to the city center, only problem is the toilets, maybe it's the female toilets though...
As stations go it is clean and there are plenty of waiting areas, staff and information boards. It could do with a few more shops/kiosks though.
Staff friendly advice was good
Very helpful staff nice
Top tip.. use westpark muti story carpark.. W Park Rd, Southampton SO15 1FZ a couple min walk.. or asda which is 10 min walk for cheaper parking Clean helpful staff.. well organised..
The station is in a good spot and has buses on both sides of the track. All of the staff we spoke with were very helpful and obliging, but the building itself could really do with a makeover. It's functional, but dismal and worn out in almost all areas. The covered footbridge, (which we were grateful for, it was raining whilst we were there), is quite dreary and uninspiring.
Clean easy to use to collect prepaid tickets. Car parking charge easier to pay for at the machines where you collect tickets
A standard central station to be honest. Working lifts, lots of trains in and out. Plenty of taxis outside.
Well cleaned and well managed. But crowded at busy times.
The whole station needa a bit of a 'lift' - it looks a bit rundown particularly the over-rail pathway as it feels unsage to walk through particularly at night. The friendly and helpful staff make up the 3 stars.
Before COVID-19, the cafés were open, serving delicious chocolate croissants and coffee, delicious sandwiches. Now it's all still closed until May 2021
Very good service ,staff friendly and helpful for all need to travel. Clean,tidy and safe railway station 🙂 Thank you 😊 🚂
Nice station trains in time.
A small and well-organized station. There is a cafe within, but I hadn't the opportunity to eat anything there. Maybe next time. PS.: Starbucks and Costa Cafe at walking distance of the exit.
Now positive or negative as train due.
Trains arrive, trains leave - normally on time, occasionally late.
It's a station - a great place to go if you need a train, otherwise its not worth a visit 😂
A large train station with a wide variety of different train operators and facilities e.g. toilets. It was busy when we went but the staff kept everything under control.
It's OK could do with a re-vamp - looking tired.
Very kind and helpful staff
I went to this station three times and the ticket office was closed
Clean, efficient, helpful staff
Helpful staff, always a busy station
Booked assistance for my journey and the staff at the station were wonderful, very helpful and considerate.
The station has been much improved over recent years. There are good interchange facilities for buses and taxis. There are local shops. It is a short walk into the city.
Fairly basic train station but easy enough to get tickets and trains, what else do you need?
Typical change over station. Good announcement and monitor levels. Staff available.
Clean tidy station. Good, up to date times
Staff were exceedingly helpful an the station was clean an comfortable. Cant ask for more.
There is a regular bus route from red jet funnel going to this station which is free for red jet ticket holder. Friendly station personnel.
Very good staff, very organised, lots of trains, generally a great experience
Helpful location for access also to buses & Nat Express. Sad that poor stafc were stretched in recent strike action. Too much litter. Nice big warm safe waiting area on bus side next to toilets.
Very busy train station but overall it is very nice and nice helpful staff
It's a station, and there is trains in it. And coffee etc you can even buy baguette here. All in all very good
Very helpful staff very clean and tidy. Social distancing still being adhered to and face masks in use
Very clean station and helpful SWR staff .
Just a station 4 platforms with good links to other cities. All food and drinks stores on the platforms are closed however on the North side ticket office there is a coffee kiosk open.
In terms of cleanliness needs to be improved
Its a bit confusing explaining which side of the station you are ar when you are waiting for someone arriving the first time. Otherwise, its convenient for pick up as there were lots of spaces the day I went.
Good clean station
Could be better in terms of direction to appropriate platform.
Staff were helpful
If you like trains this place is great
Good step free access arrangements for cycle but hard to understand how to exit station via bridge/lift system.
Good station freindly staff 4 platforms trains regular depending where your going food and drink cafe lush baguette
Very helpful and attentive to my accessibility needs (wheelchair user)
Had passenger assistance was very good, and friendly. Good Station.
Very interesting, lots of historical building and love the new town center. The westquay mall appreciate all is under one roof lovely delicious 👌 food.
Clean tidy and on time
It can only be Almighty God 🙏 doing His own thing for us all... dream come true
Good distancing, great signage, clean and easy to get round.
While the station is great, and the covid prevention measures are brilliant, the signage can be a little confusing if you're not used to SCS, I'd advise if you've never used the station before to arrive a little early
Typical station a bit scruffy, well signed, well stocked pleasant shop. Helpful information.
Staff very helpful but there needs to be more of them.
Nice station with unusual number of helpful staff.
Very busy, lots of taxis and people when I went to pick up someone from the Station.
Not crowded, takeaway cafe open on platforms 2/3
Hasn't changed much in 5 years. Friendly staff and a well maintained and neat station
Not a bad station, friendly staff, helpful
It's OK
Pretty good for a train station. Drinks are over priced but the meal deal in the WHSmith's is pretty decent. Definitely a good deal for how expensive it would be individually
Friendly platform staff, some good managers. A great way to get to Southampton without queuing in the traffic. Just over priced and late trains
Trains running late but very helpful staff on hand to help very well informed!!!
Nice clean as ever
For a mainline station it can get very busy particularly when it's University end of day
It's a station, trains go in and out dropping people off and picking people up. In that respect it completely met expectations!
Great journey to Southampton. All facilities open, clean trains
Very efficient and extremely friendly and helpful staff. Train on time. All making for a top rated experience
Not the cleanest of stations..but it is busy and maybe that's the reason why.
The trains can get pretty busy at certain times. The pre-paid ticket machine is pretty helpful when in a rush as the desks can get pretty busy and hectic around certain times of the day.
Enquired if ticket valid for earlier train attendant enquired and escorted us to our platform
Good, very good
Great staff assistance
Very helpful staff under difficult circumstances with platform changes and emergencies.

(Original)
Gute Möglichkeit morgens nach London zu fahren und abends zurück. Hin und Rück inclusive alle 6 Tarif Zonen 68 Pfund lohnt sich . Alle nett und helfen.
(Translated) Stand out above all the staff. Super friendly with tourists. Besides that there are many everywhere. If they see you lost, they help you without asking.
Only negative the change of platform just at the arrival of the train. Two minutes to go up and down to the other platform
(Original)
Destacar sobre todo el personal. Super amable con turistas. Además de que hay muchos por todas partes. Si te ven perdido te ayudan sin pedirlo.
Solo negativo el cambio de plataforma justo a la llegada del tren. Dos minutos para subir y bajar al otro anden
