Red Post Junction was a railway junction at Abbotts Ann in Hampshire, England between the former Basingstoke and Salisbury Railway[1] and Midland and South Western Junction Railway. The junction was removed after the final closure of the M&SWJR in 1961.
History
In 1873, two railway lengths were authorized which included the Red Post Junction (formerly known as the Andover Junction Station).[2] The Red Post Junction served the Andover area.[3]
Remains
Although the physical junction was removed, there is a stub of the M&SWJR remaining to serve military installations at Ludgershall. This stub is connected to a goods line from Andover which runs alongside the main line until the tracks diverge at the site of Red Post Junction.
