Alton Station

Alton railway station is a railway station in the town of Alton, in the English county of Hampshire. The station is the terminus for two railway lines; the Alton Line which runs to Brookwood and onto London Waterloo and the Mid Hants Watercress Railway, which runs to Alresford. The latter once ran through to Winchester but was closed to passengers in February 1973. It reopened as a heritage line in 1985. Two other routes (both now closed) also served the station – the Meon Valley line to Fareham and the Basingstoke and Alton Light Railway. Services operate along the Alton Line to Brookwood and join the South West Main Line towards London Waterloo which is 46 + 3 /4mi to the north east. The line was single-tracked as far as Farnham by British Rail in the early 1980s. PlatformsThere are three platforms in use. South West Trains use platforms one and two, connected by a footbridge. Platform three is used by the Mid Hants Watercress Railway.
