One solution using Perl:

Code:
$
$ curl -s http://www.tidetimes.org.uk/southampton-tide-times.rss | grep description | perl -lne 'print $1 while (/(\d\d:\d\d)/g)'
03:16
09:15
15:44
21:43
$
$

Or if you want it to be a bit more descriptive:

Code:
$
$ curl -s http://www.tidetimes.org.uk/southampton-tide-times.rss | grep description | perl -lne 'print $1 while (/(\d\d:\d\d.*?)&/g)'
03:16 - High Tide
09:15 - Low Tide
15:44 - High Tide
21:43 - Low Tide
