Bramshot Halt railway station served the village of Bramshott, East Hampshire, England, from 1913 to 1946 on the London and Southampton Railway.

History[]

The station was opened on 10 May 1913 by the London and South Western Railway. It served the members of the nearby golf club of the same name. It was known as Bramshott Halt in the railway handbook of 1936. It first appeared in Bradshaw in October 1938, although it was only used by workmen of the nearby Cove Militia camp. It closed on 6 May 1946[1] after two workers were killed by a train after attempting to cross the tracks.[2]
