Abandoned Railway Station! Churn Halt - DIdcot To Newbury Branch

I take another dip onto the track bed of the disused Didcot, Newbury And Southampton Railway, this time to find the platforms at Churn. HIdden in the depths of the Berkshire Downs, Churn was surely once one of the most desolate stations in the country.
Closed in 1963, the platforms fell into disrepair but are possibly the last surviving parts of this railway that provided so valuable during the second world war for troop and equipment movements, and beyond to connect the industrial Midlands with the docks at Southampton.
This video forms the second part in a series of videos dedicated to the Didcot to Newbury Branch.

Hello, 65 years ago my friend Dick Smith R.I.P.) and I stood on the platform at Churn Halt, and I've never forgotten it. Sure it was romantic then. Hey, we said as schoolboys, wouldn't it be great to buy this place and make it into a house! Glad to know it has resonance from another walker and 1000+ visitors. If you want to know how I feel about these ruins of our past check out myThe Abandoned Filling Station, somewhere on KZbin. Keep walking!
