Mid-Hants Railway 2002/3
4th September 2003

The 'Watercress Line' used to link Alton to Winchester, it was an alternative route from London to Southampton and beyond.

In 1972 the line was closed to through traffic, the line from London terminating at Alton. In 1977 preservationists starting running trains from Alresford to Ropley. In the mid 1980's the line was re-opened all the way though to Alton riding up over 'The Alps' connecting up with the then British Rail.
