Summary
| Description |
English: Remains of Bishop's Waltham to Botley branch railway line These level crossing gates are within a few yards of Station Roundabout which is built on the site of the former station. A plaque reads "In 1863 a branch line was opened from Bishop's Waltham to the London and South Western Railway's station at Botley, on the Eastleigh to Fareham line. The branch line was never really viable and, with increasing road competition, passenger trains were withdrawn in January 1933. Goods services lingered on for another 29 years, until the line was closed completely in April 1962". More recently, the first 1.5 miles of the line south of here has been made into a footpath by the Bishop's Waltham Society and others. |
