Many of South Western Railway’s (SWR) stations are set to provide customers with brighter and a more-welcoming appearance thanks to the latest round of a multi-million-pound repainting scheme.

The £1.5m programme started in 2021, and in 2021/2022 alone 57 stations across the SWR network have been repainted both internally and externally. The result has been better looking and more-inviting stations for customers from London to Devon.

The stations that have been repainted are:

Sunningdale and Windsor & Eton Riverside (Berkshire);
Axminster, Feniton, Honiton, Whimple (Devon);
Branksome, Christchurch, Hamworthy, Parkstone, Upwey, Wareham, and Wool (Dorset);
Andover, Ashurst New Forest, Cosham, Grateley, Hedge End, Hilsea, Hinton Admiral, Liphook, Lymington Pier, Lymington Town, Micheldever, Overton, Petersfield, Southampton Central, Sway, and Winchester (Hampshire);
Brading, Ryde Esplanade, Ryde St John (IOW);
Barnes, Chessington North, Chessington South, Fulwell, Hampton, Hampton Wick, Kew Bridge, Norbiton, Queenstown Road, Richmond, St Margaret’s, and Strawberry Hill (SW London);
Crewkerne (Somerset);
Addlestone, Chertsey, Egham, Farncombe, Hersham, Milford, Stoneleigh, Thames Ditton, Witley, Woking, and Worplesdon (Surrey) and Salisbury (Wiltshire).

Later this year, a further round of repainting will start which will see a further 40 stations across the network refreshed.

Christian Neill, South Western Railway’s Director of Customer Experience, said:

“At South Western Railway, we want to offer our customers the very best experience for the entirety of their journey with us – including as they pass through our stations.
