Future
A railway line is currently under construction (on hold since 2012) between Medding and Southstream (via Ravenside). While there is no planned station to specifically serve Bournehampton, due to issues with the council and the land, but there is a planned station, Lowhill, which is the nearest planned station to the town, about 800 metres south of the area.
