We will be coming to Southampton by train from Brighton and don't know which train station to choose in Southampton that is closest to the pier. Is there a certain train line on which I should look for tickets? Are there taxis at the station to transfer us to the pier? Debbie

Southampton Central. For tickets look on www.nationalrail.co.uk. Direct trains from Brighton are Southern Railway services. Which pier do you mean? Are you joining a cruise, or do you mean the pier where the Isle of Wight ferries run from? Assuming it's a cruise, there are 3 or 4 dock gates where your ship might be, depending on whether it's Cunard, P&O or something else, and the best option is a taxi from Southampton Central. Taxis wait directly outside the station entrance.

Yes, we are taking a cruise and would be looking for the embarkation building or pier.

Not "pier", I mean dock. Thank you.
