BROOKWOOD [Brookwood (Necropolis)]

30th November 2006

A former LSWR station on the main line between Woking and Basingstoke. Brookwood was already served by the London Necropolis Company's funeral trains but the opening of the main line station in 1864 allowed normal passenger trains to serve the cemetery. The station was extensively rebuilt in 1903 and a completely new down platform was constructed in order to accommodate quadrupling of the tracks. Operated by South West Trains. CRS code: BKO
