HINTON ADMIRAL RAILWAY STATION

'Hinton Admiral railway station' is a station serving the village of Hinton and the town of Highcliffe on the Hampshire/Dorset border in southern England.
The station is on the stretch of line opened in 1885 between Brockenhurst and Christchurch to provide a direct line from London to Bournemouth, bypassing the original "Castleman's Corkscrew" line via Ringwood and reducing that line to a backwater.
There is no village as such that is called Hinton Admiral. The village is called Hinton. The station principally serves the town of Highcliffe as Hinton is a but a collection of a few houses. The station shares its name with the house of the owner of the land that the station was built on.
The station is operated by South West Trains and is served by the Brockenhurst to Wareham hourly stopping service and peak time London Waterloo to Poole stopping services. The platforms are able to accommodate trains of up to 5 coaches, longer trains only open the doors in the first 5 or 4 coaches depending on the type of unit operating the service.
In 1957 the station was the site of a Camping coach.
