Alresford (Hampshire) railway station
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Alresford station is a railway station in New Alresford, Hampshire, UK. It was constructed in 1865 for the new Alton, Alresford and Winchester Railway Company which later became the Mid-Hants Railway. It is now part of the Mid Hants Watercress Railway, a heritage railway. Alongside the station a goods shed was built which is now used as a shop, as well as meeting facilities and tourist facilities for the Mid Hants Watercress Railway. Adjacent to the station is a large warehouse which was built in 1873 for trading agricultural produce. This warehouse is now used for offices. The buffet building is the old Lyme Regis station building, dismantled and rebuilt here.
The Mid-Hants railway used to run all the way to Winchester but the line now terminates at Alresford. It is unlikely the line will ever be re-extended to Winchester, because the M3 and new houses have been built at various points on its route.
