Portsmouth is an island city, and most of our journeys start or end at a handful of places: the Historic Dockyard with HMS Victory and the Mary Rose, Gunwharf Quays and the Spinnaker Tower, Southsea seafront and Common, the University of Portsmouth, Queen Alexandra Hospital in Cosham and Fratton Park on match days.
Three stations serve the city — Portsmouth Harbour, Portsmouth & Southsea and Fratton — and we meet trains for passengers going on to the ferries or to addresses away from the line.
