Hayling Island station, called South Hayling until 1892[2], was opened in 1867 as the terminus[3] of the four and a half mile[4]long Hayling Island branch, a single track[5] line from Havant which transported holidaymakers to the resort[6] until its closure in 1963[7]. Today the station’s outbuildings are utilized as a theatre [8], and are the first (or last) last landmark on The Hayling Billy Trail[9].
