47m 61ch from London Waterloo. This is an original station on the LSWR when
it opened, 10 June 1839, on the line from London Vauxhall. The Winchester to
Southampton section opened the same day but the gap had to be travelled by
coach. A GWR line from Reading joins the LSWR here. There was a branch to Alton. The main line divides 3 miles beyond Basingstoke, to go to Andover, Salisbury and Exeter, or by the original main line to Winchester and Southampton. |
