History

The station was rebuilt as an island platform in 1935.^[1]

In summer 2021, works were undertaken to improve the footbridge that connects the island platform with Millbrook Road West.^[2] Southampton city council was able to use the rebuild to remove two steps at the northern end where the bridge joins Foundry Lane and replace them with a ramp.^[3] Limited space and a large volume of underground utilities meant Network rail left the southern end at the station steps only.^[3]
