Facilities
The station is staffed during the mornings Monday-Saturday, while it remains unstaffed on Sundays. It has a ticket office on platform 1 which is open during these times. Outside these hours, tickets may be purchased from a ticket machine located on either platform.[6]
Both platforms can be accessed step-free by a ramp from the street on either side of the level crossing. There is no footbridge nor subway and thus the opposite platform can only be accessed while the level crossing is open.[6]
An accessible toilet and waiting room can be found on platform 1. There is a smaller, unlit waiting room on platform 2. Both platforms have outdoor seating under shelter.[7]
Onward Travel
The station has no carpark, though there is a drop-off and pick-up point.[6] There is no taxi rank, though accessible taxis can be arranged with GWR staff.[7] The A33 is 2 miles east of the station.
The station is served by Stagecoach with the 14 bus route from Basingstoke to Tadley via Silchester and Pamber Heath from the Sherfield Road bus stop. This bus runs Monday-Friday with a once every two hour frequency in the morning and once every 90 minute frequency in the afternoon. There is a reduced service on Saturdays and no service on Sundays.[8] Rail replacement busses also run from the same bus stop.
