Grateley railway station serves the village of Grateley, Hampshire, England, and the surrounding countryside. It is 72 miles 49 chains (116.9 km) down the line from London Waterloo.[1] It is operated by South Western Railway.
The station opened on 1 May 1857. It was built 3⁄4 mile (1.2 km) southwest of Grateley village,[2] near the hamlet of Palestine, after the local landowner objected to it being built any closer.[3] Since then, a new settlement has grown up around the station.
On 5 June 1861, the Grateley station master was killed as a result of a driver and guard rushing to move freight wagons.[4]
The station has few facilities and is unmanned. There is a self-service ticket machine on platform 1 and smartcard readers on both platforms. There are two car parks for the large number of commuters who use the station. Displays on each platform show the next two trains.[5][6] All trains are operated by South Western Railway.
