Now onto the Old road between Holmsley and Goatspen Crossing. Sadly i didn't get a shot of the main Holmsley station but i did get a shot of the surviving platform that runs for quite some way.

One of the interesting points of the route is Goatspen Crossing. This modern building was constructed in 2003ish.

The original idea was to restore the original crossing keepers house that stood here, but due to constant vandalism and fires it was demolished.

A sign showing a picture of how the station once looked, it has since been painted in a creamy white colour. The station was originally named Christchurch road but was later renamed. The station was built to serve Christchurch many many miles away. The station saw considerable use during the war due to airfields being constructed near by.
