Medstead and Four Marks railway station is a railway station in the English county of Hampshire, serving the villages of Medstead and Four Marks. At 644 ft above sea level, it is currently (2013) the highest operational standard-gauge railway station in Southern England.[citation needed]

History

Opened in August 1868 as Medstead, it changed to its present name on 1 October 1937.[1]

Preservation

It was reopened on 28 May 1983 by the preserved Watercress Line, which runs from Alton to New Alresford. The Stationmaster is Keith Brown. The footbridge (currently on the country end) is from Cowes on the Isle of Wight. Beside the station is the Signal and Telegraph department, which also house the Permanent Way Gang and the Building Department.
