£14.95
Complete history of the now preserved line from Alton to Alresford. The full line was constructed between Winchester Junction and Alton in the 1860s and opened in 1865. This book traces the history of its construction with many rare photographs and plans. Description of services along the route including the early years through to the M7 push-pull years which lasted until 1957 and the introduction of the ‘Hampshire’ DEMUs. The book follows the struggle to keep the line open through the Beeching cuts period of the 1960s and later the culmination of hopes to retain the line which sadly ended with BR closure in 1973.
