Disused railway to oil installation The private branch from near Hamble station to an oil installation of BP (formerly Shell Mex and BP) is no longer used. Away from the installation the route is heavily overgrown, but the track appears to be still in place. Here there is a strange provision of double check rails.

Disused level crossing, Barton Drive The disused private branch from near Hamble station to an oil installation (currently BP Oil) on Southampton Water crosses here. The track still seems mostly in place but it is heavily overgrown. Double tracks here, a loop on the single line. The white pipeline markers explain why the railway fell out of use.
