This section copied from Talk:Denvilles railway station in anticipation of that station article being deleted

I would like to see some reference for this. The only Denvilles I can find on the map is half a mile outside Havant and is suspiciously close to Warblington railway station. -- RHaworth 09:23, 19 March 2006 (UTC)

  • Denvilles is above Warblington. The station was aproximately located where some new houses have just been built which is about half a mile north of where the Portsmouth direct line joins the west coastway line the southerner 13:16, 22 March 2006 (UTC)

The image is too low res to be able to see any trace of a station. I still want to see some reference. That is some document, preferably on the web, that indicates that this station ever existed. -- RHaworth 20:48, 23 March 2006 (UTC)

  • the station has been closed for over 60 years there is no trace of the station left except a ballast house. the southerner 09:40, 26 March 2006 (UTC) (Originally posted to User talk:RHaworth.)

What is a ballast house? How many times do I have to tell you? Solid evidence please. -- RHaworth 16:40, 26 March 2006 (UTC)

  • a ballast house is where they keep the stones placed under tracks. they are now used for track marshalls when they are working on the track - hence they now have windows. there are plenty of them around and like i said there is one where denvilles station was. the southerner 10:26, 27 March 2006 (UTC)
  • on the picture you can see a clearing where the station building and platform foundations still exist. some of them blue bricks are still around. the blue bricks were common on the also disused section of the metropolitan line near amersham so it could have been designed by the same architech the southerner 10:33, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

What picture? I am getting a bit fed up of being told what you can see on the ground. Just find me three articles on the web that mention this station. (You name me any other closed English railway station and I will give you half a dozen links to it.) -- RHaworth 12:37, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

This station does not exist according to a Railatlas (OPC 10th edition) and Quail (latest Southern Region edition). Quail lists ALL old stations. I ride the line frequently and there is nothing of interest in the marked area. Tubechallenger 16:17, 29 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Possible signal boxes

Are there any level crossings in Denvilles needing a signal box to interlock it. All things considered, under the Block Telegraph system of safeworking, such a box would allow a train to advance closer to the junction at Havant from the previous station at Rowlands Castle railway station, which is quite a long way away.

[edit] Additional information

Denvilles railway station existed between 1858 and 1859 only, though there are remains there to this day. That might explain the paucity of sources on the internet, though I've found one and added it..Vizjim 08:53, 30 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] halt

i have moved the page to denvilles halt as it is not a permanant terminus and had only 1 platform. it shouldn't get deleted as it is a important peice of knoledge. the southerner 09:10, 31 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Added extras

In aticipation on sister article Woodcroft halt I will provide extra proof of this stations once existence as soon as I get permission to enter the tracks to take photographs of the remains. Lenny 14:58, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Article Tidy and Additions

Having tidied up the article and removed some repetition, I found during the work that after all this hoo-ha the LBSCR opened a Denville station to the east of Havant. It was renamed Warblington within the year (do you think someone realised?). Warblington continues to serve the people of the area as of 2007. Britmax 10:12, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Move to Battle of Havant?

In view of the difficulty we are having finding references to this station, and the probability that it is only notable in the context of the Battle of Havant, I am considering moving the article to one with the title "Battle of Havant" and changing the emphasis accordingly. I would appreciate any thoughts anyone might have on this idea. Thanks. Britmax 11:35, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

NO! This article is olely about the station, not the battle, duh! Unisouth 14:59, 28 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Location of disused halts on the portsmouth direct line.png

Image:Location of disused halts on the portsmouth direct line.png is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.
