Battle of HavantIn 1858, the two local railway companies started the "Battle of Havant". The London, Brighton and South Coast Railway ran the London to Portsmouth Line via Hove, and refused to allow the London and South Western Railway to use any of that track to reach Portsmouth.{{cn|date=November 2012}} The LB&SCR blocked the line just north of the intended junction, prompting the L&SWR to open a temporary station at Havant. The station was opened on 1 January 1859.{{sfn|Butt|1995|p=115}}{{sfn|Quick|2009|p=205}} Passengers would travel from Havant New in a horse-drawn omnibus to {{rws|Hilsea}}, bypassing Havant.{{cn|date=November 2012}} The passengers could then carry on into Portsmouth by train.{{cn|date=November 2012}} After two years the companies came to an agreement and the L&SWR were allowed access to the disputed line.[1] The station closed on 24 January 1859.{{sfn|Butt|1995|p=115}}{{sfn|Quick|2009|p=205}}{{sfn|Clinker|1988|p=61}} The site todayNothing remains of the station today; the site is marked only by some old semaphore signal posts, some slates and a platelayers' hut.{{cn|date=November 2012}} The station was the only one on the line built of blue bricks. The surrounds were not developed at the time of the station's existence so having fulfilled its political function it closed, in 1859.{{cn|date=November 2012}} See also
