Talk:Havant New railway station

message: :This section copied from Talk:Denvilles railway station in anticipation of that station article being deleted
I would like to see some reference for this. The only Denvilles I can find on the map is half a mile outside Havant and is suspiciously close to Warblington railway station. -- RHaworth 09:23, 19 March 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Anticipated deletion

message: Are there any level crossings in Denvilles needing a signal box to interlock it.  All things considered, under the Block Telegraph system of safeworking, such a box would allow a train to advance closer to the junction at Havant from the previous station at Rowlands Castle railway station, which is quite a long way away.

thread_title:  Possible signal boxes 

message: Denvilles railway station existed between 1858 and 1859 only, though there are remains there to this day.  That might explain the paucity of sources on the internet, though I've found one and added it..Vizjim 08:53, 30 March 2006 (UTC)

message: In aticipation on sister article Woodcroft halt I will provide extra proof of this stations once existence as soon as I get permission to enter the tracks to take photographs of the remains. Lenny 14:58, 5 July 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Added extras

message: Having tidied up the article and removed some repetition, I found during the work that after all this hoo-ha the LBSCR opened a Denville station to the east of Havant. It was renamed Warblington within the year (do you think someone realised?). Warblington continues to serve the people of the area as of 2007. Britmax 10:12, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Article Tidy and Additions

message: In view of the difficulty we are having finding references to this station, and the probability that it is only notable in the context of the Battle of Havant, I am considering moving the article to one with the title "Battle of Havant" and changing the emphasis accordingly. I would appreciate any thoughts anyone might have on this idea. Thanks. Britmax 11:35, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

Just to put the cat among the pigeons, Tony Dewick's atlas shows a closed (before  1 January 1901) station near Havant Junction on the Rowlands Castle line, but called HAVANT NEW. It also lists DENVILLE HALT (N.B. without the S) as an alternative name for . According to the colour convention of the text in that book, the name is shown in black indicating it was in use into the 20th century. Butt lists Havant New as opened 1 Jan 1859, closed 24 Jan 1859, therefore I suspect this is the station this article refers to. Optimist on the run (talk) 07:31, 24 November 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Butt does list it, and the asterisk next to the entry refers to a station that does not appear in Jowett but appears in Wignall's British Railways Maps and Gazetteer 1825 - 1985 edition 1985 (OPC).  So if anyone has one... Britmax (talk) 09:15, 24 November 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: "Havant New" is also the name shown (with 1859 opening & closing dates) in Colonel Cobb's atlas (). - David Biddulph (talk) 09:45, 24 November 2012 (UTC)

text: I have a copy of Butt and didn't think of looking there either, so don't worry. No objections here. Britmax (talk) 17:40, 24 November 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks to all for bringing this to a happy conclusion, particularly Optimist. It would probably be a good idea in the future to run potential deletions by the project page before actually nominating them! Lamberhurst (talk) 19:41, 24 November 2012 (UTC)
