Alton: Watercress Line 
Description
The Mid-Hants Railway, also called the Watercress Line is a 10 mile heritage railway that runs from Alton to Alresford. The line was originally part of a through route from Winchester to London via Alton and Aldershot. The line between London and Alton via Aldershot and Farnham is still part of the national network, but following the Beeching cuts of the 1960s the line South of Alton was closed. The heritage railway was founded to try and save the line and return steam trains. Today the line runs from platform 3 at Alton station, providing cross platform interchange with the national rail network to the station at Alresford with intermediate stops at Medstead & Four Marks and Ropley, that latter also being home to the lines museum and a small miniature railway that can be ridden on.
