Watercress Line.
The Watercress Line runs 10 miles
between the market towns of Alresford and Alton in Hampshire. The railway operates
a fleet of steam locomotives, most of them of the larger classes,
as they are required to haul trains up and over the summits of Medstead and Four Marks.
Throughout the year there are special events such as A
Day Out with Thomas, Hampshire Unit and Freight Train days, Murder on the Watercress Line, and War on the Line.
