East Southsea was the terminus of the 1.25 mile Southsea Railway, which linked the resort with the main line from London at Fratton. The only discrete station until 1904, it was initially a success, but was unable to compete with the burgeoning tramway network.

dbpprop:abstract
  • East Southsea was the terminus of the 1.25 mile Southsea Railway, which linked the resort with the main line from London at Fratton. The only discrete station until 1904, it was initially a success, but was unable to compete with the burgeoning tramway network. The final nail in the line's coffin was a government directive issued shortly after the declaration of war that railways unable to support themselves would cease operations at the earliest opportunity; and, as the line clearly fell into this category, the last train ran early in August 1914.
