Freight Services
A daily service runs to Holybourne Oil Terminal between Alton and Bentley. As a result the 1023 service from Waterloo stops short at Farnham and does not continue to Alton; there is no 1214 return service from Alton to Farnham, this train beginning its journey from Farnham instead at 1228. This is because the line between Alton and Farnham is single, with a passing place at Bentley, and worked on the track circuit block system.

Famous quotes containing the words freight and/or services:
“Man, she looked as though she’d been thrown off the crummiest freight train in the world. Yet, in spite of this, I got the impression of beauty. Not the beauty of a movie actress, mind you, or the beauty you dream about when you’re with your wife. But a natural beauty. A beauty that’s almost homely because it’s so real.”
—Martin Goldsmith, and Edgar G. Ulmer. Al Roberts (Tom Neal)
“Working women today are trying to achieve in the work world what men have achieved all along—but men have always had the help of a woman at home who took care of all the other details of living! Today the working woman is also that woman at home, and without support services in the workplace and a respect for the work women do within and outside the home, the attempt to do both is taking its toll—on women, on men, and on our children.”
—Jeanne Elium (20th century)
