What is "andover"

Andover may refer to:

Andover was the name of a constituency of the House of Commons of the Parliament of England from 1295 to 1307, and again from 1586, then of the Parliament of Great Britain from 1707 to 1800 and of the Parliament of the United Kingdom from 1801 to 1918. It was a parliamentary borough in Hampshire, represented by two Members of Parliament until 1868, and by one member from 1868 to 1885. The name was then transferred to a county constituency electing one MP from 1885 until 1918.

Andover is a regional rail station on the MBTA Commuter Rail Haverhill Line, located near the town center of Andover, Massachusetts. The station has one platform serving the line's one track; a second track is being installed, but a second platform is in doubt. The station has a mini-high platform for handicapped accessibility.

Andover (1851 – after 1865) was a British Thoroughbred racehorse and sire. In a career that lasted from July 1853 to September 1854 he ran ten times and won eight races. After being beaten in his first racecourse appearance he won his next seven races including the 1854 Epsom Derby. Andover was retired to stud at the end of the his three-year-old season. After less than two years as a stallion in England he sold and exported to Russia.

Andover is a planned New Jersey Transit passenger railroad station in Andover Township, in Sussex County, New Jersey, United States, providing service on its Lackawanna Cut-Off line. The line, which is under construction, is anticipated to begin rail service in late 2018. The station will be built at a site on Andover's Roseville Road, approximately 1.1 miles (1.8 km) from U.S. Route 206 and about 0.9 miles (1.5 km) from County Route 517. On the rail line, it will be located about 7.3 miles (11.7 km) west of Port Morris Junction at milepost 53.0.

The Andover station will be the terminus of the line but plans exist for extending the Lackawanna Cut-Off line west of Andover. Anticipated construction at the site includes a station and platform with a car park featuring 125 parking spaces (increased from the initially planned 65 spaces). Preparation to restore trackage between Port Morris and Andover was originally slated to begin in 2010 but was delayed until early 2011 due to a dispute over the exact location of the Andover Station area. Final completion of the track construction is awaiting final permitting and approval and service is not expected to start until late 2018.
