Despite its name, Southampton Central is in fact situated some distance from the centre of the city (a central area served by Southampton terminus station until 1967) though it is now the closest station to the centre.
Even if the terminus station was still there, Central station would be nearer to the modern city centre. Terminus station was about 600m from the nearest point of the High Street - but that part of the High Street has no shops (did it ever?). Central station is about 600m from the middle of Above Bar - far more convenient for shopping etc.
I'd suggest something like "Although it is 600m from the main shopping area, Southampton Central is the closest station to the city centre (and particularly since Southampton Terminus station closed in 1967)" — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mnb20 (talk • contribs) 15:33, 8 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
