The Portsmouth Direct Line splits from the South Western Main Line at Woking and runs through the South Downs to Portsmouth. This route represents the stretch from Shalford Junction (just south of Guildford) to Havant exclusive.
The majority of the line is a simple two track route, however Haslemere station in the middle has three platforms which can be used for services to overtake each other, and terminate. The route also has several level crossings, which increase the difficulty slightly.
Timetable
The standard service pattern is as follows:
| Portsmouth Direct Line Services | |||
| Train Operating Company | Origin | Destination | Frequency (tph) |
| South Western Railway | London Waterloo | Portsmouth Harbour | 2 |
| Portsmouth and Southsea | 1 | ||
| Haslemere | 1 | ||
Several additional peak services operate, and one CrossCountry empty coaching stock move runs each way during the day.
Operational Tips
Keep an eye on departure times from Haslemere - especially heading south trains overtake each other here. Typically the train with the longer dwell should be routed into platform 2 (the middle platform), although sometimes other services don’t allow this, so be careful!
