Portswood railway station was a railway station that served the suburb of Portswood, Southampton, England from 1861 to 1866 on the South Western Main Line.
History
The station opened in 1861 by the London and South Western Railway. The station was situated near the modern A3035 bridge, although it is unclear whether it was north or south of the station. The station closed in 1866 to make way for the new station that was opening 400m south, which is known as St Denys railway station nowadays. The station opened as Portswood and the name was changed to St Denys in 1876.[1]
