Droxford railway station
Droxford railway station was an intermediate station on the Meon Valley line which ran from Alton to Fareham in the UK during the first half of the 20th century. Opened on 1 June 1903, Churchill and Eisenhower put the finishing touches to the D Day invasion plans there. The line cost the equivalent of 27 million pounds. After closure for passenger traffic in 1955 the section from Droxford to Knowle Junction was used for goods traffic until 1962. The line was then disconnected by BR at Knowle Junction and the track was subsequently used privately to test new designs, until a fire in 1970 stopped the operations. The station became a private residence.
