Dover Harbour station, now long closed, was one of three
originally serving Dover. Opened in early 1865 it was first known as Dover Town
and Harbour but was renamed Dover Harbour on 1st July 1899. The station had an
overall roof over its two platforms and an unusual feature - part of the down
platform was on wheels allowing a section to be swung out of the way to give
access to the line to the Prince of Wales Pier and the Promenade Railway.
Closed on 11th July 1927, the platforms and overall roof were removed two years
later but the main station building remains in situ.

across to the right as where the right hand line is was originally the site of
one of the platforms.

Looking from the opposite direction. Originally there were three
tracks, with the line to the Prince of Wales Pier and the Promenade Railway
branching off to the right about three quarters of the way down the platform,
just before the present day road overbridge.

| Droxford station, on the Meon Valley line from Alton to
Fareham, which closed in February 1955. The section from Knowle Junction
(between Fareham and Botley on the line from Fareham to Eastleigh) remained
open for freight until April 1962. In the mid 60s Droxford was the base for an
abortive attempt to reopen the line and the track there was used to test the
Sadler Pacerailer Railbus, seen here in early 1967.
