Our ticket machines have a new facility to make buying tickets more convenient – so you can buy your tickets from our website or our Customer Service Centre and collect pre-paid train tickets at the station.

This is now being piloted at:
- Southampton Central
- Southampton Airport (Parkway)
- Bournemouth
- Basingstoke
- Winchester
- Woking
- Guildford
- Richmond
- Wimbledon
- London Waterloo
Subject to a sucessful pilot, this will be rolled out to our stations in the coming months. This page will be updated with the latest information, so keep checking here for updates.
Ian Johnston, customer service director, said:
“We are really pleased to be able to offer passengers this facility which we hope will make the ticket-buying process quicker and easier.
“Tickets are ready for collection just two hours after ordering.”
