Car park, Havant Station

I stood about here in 1963 and watched a 'Terrier' tank being hand-coaled, ready for its next run to Hayling Island - SU7106 : The glamour of steam?. 1963 was the year that the line closed, so the old yard has, inevitably, become a boring car park. Now, the only visible links between the two shots are the chimneys on the houses beyond.

Havant signal box

Signals are still controlled locally, but I'm not sure if from this box, which is Grade II listed.

Gates on the old Hayling line trackbed

The gates have retained their railway appearance but now guard the Shipwrights Way, which follows the route of the old Hayling branch line.

Pathway under the A27 road

Now the Shipwrights Way, but was previously the Hayling Island railway branch line.

The Shipwrights Way joins the A3023 road

The A3023 road crosses into Hayling Island via the Langstone Bridge. This is now the only land link onto the Island and is also used by the Shipwrights Way, which is joined by the Hayling Billy Coastal Path on the island. A 2nd bridge onto the island was the Hayling rail branch line, but that closed in 1963.

Mud flats at Bridge Lake

The remains of the Langston Harbour rail bridge are visible across the centre of the view. The poor state of the bridge led to the closure of the Hayling branch line in 1963 (but I'm sure, if not for the bridge, another reason to close the line would have been found!). Although much of the bridge infrastructure remains, it cannot be used to cross to the island. There have been recent calls to rebuild it, at a minimum as a walkway, but that seems unlikely in the near future, given the financial constraints which currently prevail. The road bridge to the island is visible on the left.
