Marchwood Military Port
View from UK Railtours' excursion from Waterloo, heading down the Fawley branch on 8th April 2017, passing the junction with a still intact section of the Marchwood Military Railway that opened in 1939 from just south of Marchwood station to Cracknore Hard. Much of the eastern end of this line has been abandoned and obliterated but these few yards still existed at the time of this photo. The Fawley branch itself closed to regular passenger traffic on 14th February 1966 but 21st Century attempts to reopen the line, at least as far as Hythe, have so far not come to fruition.
