The Midhurst Lines
The Midhurst Lines Jeffery Grayer
Closed to passengers nearly 70 years ago now, the lines that served the charming Sussex market town of Midhurst are still fondly remembered. Never money spinners the first of the three routes to be closed, that from Chichester, was way back in 1935 to be followed twenty years later by the withdrawal of services to both Petersfield and Pulborough. With its stations not generally well sited for the limited population they served and vulnerable to bus competition traffic was never heavy although freight did continue for a number of years after passenger closure with the final trains operating on a small section of the route until 1991. Fortunately several photographers appreciated the scenic beauty of the area and recorded trains in the landscape during the 1950s. It is their work that is presented in this volume.
