The Berks & Hants : Home | The Berks & Hants

The Berkshire and Hampshire Railway opened in 1847 from Reading to Hungerford and in 1848 from Southcote Junction to Basingstoke. The Berks and Hants Extension Railway opened in 1862 from Hungerford through to Devizes. It wasn't until 1900 that a line from Patney and Chirton was opened to Westbury, with the connection from Westbury to Cogload Junction opening in 1906. This gallery covers the section between Reading and the former Patney and Chirton station, strictly speaking the only part of the current West of England mainline that should be referred to as "The Berks and Hants", although the term is commonly used to describe the whole route through to Cogload Junction.
Most locations on the route are well within an hour's drive from home, and this combined with the varied scenery and reasonably regular freight flows mean I visit the line frequently, especially during the winter months. Despite visiting over a number of years, I'm still discovering new angles on the line, some of which I plan to post here in due course.
