Holton Heath railway station serves the area of Holton Heath in Wareham St Martin, Dorset, England. It is {{convert|118|mi|61|chain|km}} down the line from {{stn|London Waterloo}}. It was opened to serve the Royal Navy Cordite Factory, Holton Heath during the First World War. The station did not open to the public until 1924. HistoryHolton Heath has been unstaffed since 1964, with the signal box removed on 3 November 1969. DescriptionThe platforms are able to accommodate trains of up to five coaches. The station is one of the few remaining on the line not to be equipped with a self-service ticket machine, only a Permit to Travel machine, located on platform 1. ServicesThe station is served hourly by London to Weymouth semi-fast trains during the day. This replaced the now-defunct hourly {{stnlnk|Wareham}} to Brockenhurst service in 2008. There are no services in the evening (after 20.00) or on Sundays.[1] Until 1967, trains through the station were normally steam hauled. Between 1967 and 1988, passenger services were normally provided by Class 33/1 diesel locomotives with Class 438 coaching stock (also known as 4-TC units). The line was electrified in 1988, using the standard British Rail Southern Region direct current third rail at 750 volts. Class 442 electric multiple units were initially used following electrification, until being displaced by new Class 444 electric multiple units in 2007.
