The Highclere, Kingsclere and Basingstoke Light Railway was a proposed light railway in Hampshire, England, connecting the Didcot, Newbury and Southampton Railway (DNSR) with the London and South Western Railway (LSWR).〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://kingsclere.org.uk/canal.html )〕 Despite public support of the railway proposal, sufficient funding was never obtained and the proposals were abandoned. == History == The passing of the Light Railways Act in 1896 led to the proposal of two light railways in Hampshire—the Basingstoke and Alton Light Railway and the Highclere, Kingsclere and Basingstoke Light Railway.〔 The former was begun in 1898, and in 1900 a proposal for the Highclere—Basingstoke line was issued.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/a2a/records.aspx?cat=041-68m72&cid=7-5-2#7-5-2 )〕 The proposal called for public subscription, and sufficient interest was gathered to allow an amount of land in Kingsclere (at the present-day Wellmans Meadow, ) to be purchased for Kingsclere Station.〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://kingsclere.org.uk/canal.html )〕 Other methods of acquiring land included offering landowners shares in the railway in return for access to their land.〔 There was much public interest in Kingsclere about the railway,〔 though sufficient funds—in either cash or shares—were never raised and the proposal was dropped in the early 20th century.〔
