Plans for a coffee van at a railway station have been unveiled.
Darren Waterman is hoping to bring his mobile business Coffee Bug to travellers at Hedge End station.
Mr Waterman submitted the plans to Eastleigh Borough Council on Christmas Eve and outlined his proposal of parking his van next to the disabled bays.
However, train passengers needing a caffeine fix would only be able to buy from the van from 6am to 9am Monday to Friday.
There are no plans for the van to be open on weekends.
If approved, no parking spaces will be removed.

He added that he will provide his own bin for any waste he will dispose of.
The plans submitted by Mr Waterman are open to consultation until January 17, with no comments made online so far.
A decision date is due to be made on February 18.
The application comes only weeks after plans were put forward for a second Starbucks in Hedge End.
Hargreaves Management Ltd has applied for a Starbucks “coffee pod” in a section of the car park for the Wickes DIY store at Hamilton Business Park.
A decision on these plans are yet to be made by the council.
