Aldershot Train Station: Services, Parking, Facilities and Access

Aldershot station is on Station Road, GU11 1HN, and is managed by South Western Railway (SWR). This guide covers what the operator and National Rail say about the station, plus a short note on the two nearest stations, Ash and Ash Vale.

Where trains go

SWR publishes Aldershot on two timetables: Basingstoke, Alton and Aldershot to London Waterloo and Guildford to Farnham and Ascot via Aldershot. In practice that means Aldershot has services towards London Waterloo and Alton, and between Guildford and Ascot. SWR also has route pages for Aldershot to Guildford and Aldershot to London Waterloo.

We have not quoted journey times. The SWR route pages did not show times when we checked, and timetables vary by time of day and by planned engineering work. Use the SWR journey planner or National Rail for the train you want, and check SWR's planned improvements pages for any works on your date.
