Alton Line

The Alton Line is a railway line operated by South West Trains. Today Alton station is the terminus of a main line branch, although it was at one time the junction for three lines. The branch leaves the South Western Main Line at ''Pirbright Junction'' near Brookwood. The line was electrified (750 V DC third rail) during the interwar years by Southern Railway.
Freight trains operated by EWS and steam trains from the Watercress Line (see below) are often seen on the Alton Line.
==History==
The line from Farnham to Alton was opened on 28 July 1852. On 2 October 1865 the ''Alton, Aldershot & Winchester Railway'' opened between those three places; Alton station moved to a new site. The section of this line between Alton and New Alresford is now the Watercress heritage railway, having been closed to passengers by British Rail in 1973. On 2 May 1870 the connection from Farnham to Pirbright Junction opened. Alton became a junction station on 1 June 1901 when the Basingstoke and Alton Light Railway opened. This line was closed from 1917 as the track was taken up for use in France during the First World War. Local pressure resulted in the reopening in 1924, but traffic was light and the line closed completely in 1933. On 1 June 1903 the ''Meon Valley Railway'' opened from Alton to . This line closed to passengers on 7 Feb 1955.
The line was closed briefly in August 2006 between Brookwood and Ash Vale by a landslip at Foxhills Tunnel, causing most commuter journeys to be diverted via Guildford. It reopened on 19 August 2006.
