Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Use British English Шаблон:Coord Шаблон:Infobox station Havant New was a temporary terminus between Havant and Шаблон:Rws on the Portsmouth Direct Line: a temporary platform, erected by the L&SWR who were granted permission to run all trains along the line by its independent venture owners, but which did not reach Portsmouth, which started a dispute with the LB&SCR which owned the only railway south of Havant.
Battle of Havant
In 1858, the two local railway companies started the "Battle of Havant". The London, Brighton and South Coast Railway ran the London to Portsmouth Line via Hove, and refused to allow the London and South Western Railway to use any of that track to reach Portsmouth.Шаблон:Citation needed The LB&SCR blocked the line just north of the intended junction, prompting the L&SWR to open a temporary station at Havant. The station was opened on 1 January 1859.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn Passengers would travel from Havant New in a horse-drawn omnibus to Шаблон:Rws, bypassing Havant.Шаблон:Citation needed The passengers could then carry on into Portsmouth by train.Шаблон:Citation needed After two years the companies came to an agreement and the L&SWR were allowed access to the disputed line.[1] The station closed on 24 January 1859.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn
The site today
Nothing remains of the station today; the site is marked only by some old semaphore signal posts, some slates and a platelayers' hut.Шаблон:Citation needed The station was the only one on the line built of blue bricks. The surrounds were not developed at the time of the station's existence so having fulfilled its political function it closed, in 1859.Шаблон:Citation needed
