Title: Mid-Hants Railway, Mount Pleasant Bridge, Alton [Go to resource]
Description: View from the empty track bed up towards Mount Pleasant Bridge from about 300 yards. Opened in 1865, the Alton-Winchester line was bought in 1884 by the London and South West Railway. It was never a financial success and on 4th February 1973 British Rail ran their last train over this line. The track bed was eventually bought by the Mid-Hants Railway and the first train back on the preserved line reached Alton from Alresford in 1985.
