tartantiara Posted September 24, 2015 #1 Share Posted September 24, 2015 We fly in to Southampton at 8.15 am and plan to get the train to Southampton from the airport, but it will still be too early to get a taxi to the port. Is there anywhere near the train station where we can have a coffee and waste a bit of time? Also is there anywhere within walking distance to buy some wine ?

tartanexile81 Posted September 24, 2015 #2 Share Posted September 24, 2015 Sorry I can't remember which platform is which but I suspect you'll have to go over to the other side of the station from the one you arrive on. If you leave the station on Blechynden Terrace you'll find a Costas and Starbucks. There's also a little supermarket there (Co-op?) where you'll get wine. Check it out on Google maps.

Rare John Bull Posted September 24, 2015 #3 Share Posted September 24, 2015 As per the Exile's post. :) You'll need the northern exit (Blechynden Terrace) from Southampton central station, that's by Platform 1. Not the exit signed "to the cruise ships" Choice of Costa & Starbucks directly opposite the station exit. A Co-op "Welcome" convenience store on the corner to the right carries a decent selection of wines, soft drinks, etc. Fee-free ATM there too. Taxis on the station forecourt. Here's the street-view (station exit to the left, behind the roadworks) https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@50.9080236,-1.4131887,3a,75y,282.81h,83.25t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sHDbntfLIXk1lA1BOcPUvog!2e0!7i13312!8i6656 And here are inside photos of that Co-op store, including its wines https://www.google.co.uk/maps/uv?hl=en&pb=!1s0x487476bb1a9b997d:0x510a893e4efb1f56!2m5!2m2!1i80!2i80!3m1!2i100!3m1!7e1!4shttps://picasaweb.google.com/lh/sredir?uname%3D109122396455701886695%26id%3D6173290263516317122%26target%3DPHOTO!5sco-op+Frobisher+House+-+Google+Search&sa=X&ved=0CGwQoiowCmoVChMI2M2AxOCQyAIVx5gaCh1HOAOS JB :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
