Route of Mid Hants Railway (extract from non-copyright OS map).<br /> The mid hants runs from Alresford (Left) to Alton (Top right). The line used to continue to to join the main London Waterloo - Southampton line at a junction just north of Winchester. Main line services still run to Alton and a permanent link is made there with the preserved line. <br /> It is interesting to note that the line to Alton was double track from London which fed three single track routes (Alton - Basingstoke, Alton - Alresford (Mid Hants railway) and Alton - Fareham (Meon Valley Line). These routes diverged at what was known as Butts Junction just outside of Alton. The first and last routes are closed and track lifted although the earthworks are still intact today.

  • 1930's out of copyright map of the route of the Hayling Billy Line from Havant. The dotted line running vertically down the page is the single track 'Hayling Billy' Railway which alas is no more. I found this <a href="http://www.ponies.me.uk/maps/osmap.html">website</a> very useful in providing old OS maps.
  • Milford Junction Map (1930's Out of copyright OS Survey Map extract) The line running vertically leads to York. The line running diagonally is the Leeds to Selby Line. Suprisingly, the main running lines shown here remain in place. Quadruple track from the south and the remainder all double track. The station near Monk Fryston has closed and what was once the Junction station (between the divergence of the York and Selby lines) is not even shown. In the 1950's, when I lived there, a footbridge still existed across the tracks which originally served the Junction station - alas, this has been removed. All I have is the happy memories of rushing along the bridge to catch the smell of the smoke of a passing steam train. This love was not however shared by my mother.
