Preface: - "The Meon Valley Railway will always remain in my mind as one of my favourite photographic haunts. Opened in 1903, as part of a through route from London via Alton to Portsmouth, and laid out to main line standards, it never fulfilled its original purpose, and remained a backwater to the end of its days. Who better to chronicle its story than Ray Stone, a life long resident of West Meon, whose grandfather was parcels agent there for 40 years, who observed its rise and fall at close quarters, and had the sad task of assisting at the demolition. I call to mind two unconventional trips, once in 1948 on the footplate of the engine hauling the up afternoon goods train from West Meon to Alton, an interesting experience and in the mid '70's, the motive power being an old Austin Mini fitted with flanged wheels by Charles Ashby, who at that time had a lease of the remnant of the line from Droxford to Mislingford. As an old Guildford driver once said to me, "what a beautiful line that was that ran through the Meon Valley, such wonderful scenery, that I always thought I was in a world of fantasy". E.C. Griffith Size: Sm 4to. Numerous b/w Photographs, Line Plans (illustrator). …

The Meon Valley Railway (MVR) was a cross-country railway in Hampshire, England that ran for 22 1/4 miles (35.8 km) between Alton and Fareham, closely following the course of the River Meon.[1] At its northern (Alton) end, it joined with the Mid-Hants Railway to Winchester, the Alton Line to Brookwood and the Basingstoke and Alton Light Railway. At Fareham it linked with the Eastleigh to Fareham Line, the West Coastway Line and the line to Gosport. The railway was authorised in 1896 and opened in 1903, making it one of the last railways of any size to be built to main-line standards in the United Kingdom. Passenger services were withdrawn after 5 February 1955, and the line was closed completely on 13 August 1968. Ref EEE5. Signed by Author(s).…
