Totton sits at the head of Southampton Water where the River Test meets it, with the old Eling Tide Mill on the waterfront and Marchwood just to the south. It is the last town before the New Forest on the A35 and A36, so many Totton journeys are either into Southampton or out into the forest.
Totton station has trains towards Southampton and Bournemouth; the Southampton cruise terminals and Southampton Central are among the shortest runs we make, usually about 15 minutes.
Frequently asked questions
How far is Totton from the Southampton cruise terminals?
Only a few miles. Totton is just across the River Test from Southampton, so the cruise terminals and Southampton Central station are among our shortest runs from here — usually about 15 minutes outside rush hour.
Do you cover Hythe, Holbury and Fawley on the Waterside?
Yes. Hythe, Holbury, Fawley and Marchwood are reached from Totton along the A326, and we take passengers from all of them to Southampton, the cruise terminals and the airports at a fixed fare. The Hythe Ferry to Town Quay has been suspended since August 2024, so the road through Totton is now the only way into Southampton from Hythe.
