Butts Junction


Butts Junction was a railway junction, located just west of Alton in Hampshire, England.
It was at where the Basingstoke and Alton Light Railway and the Meon Valley Railway diverged from the Mid-Hants line from Alton to Winchester. All of these lines had closed by 1973, with the Watercress line reopening as a heritage railway in 1977. The location of the junction can be seen from on board the train at the Watercress Line, with an embankment tailing off in a different direction. There used to be a reasonably large signal box located on this site which was an LSWR type 4.
