Treloar's Hospital Platform (also known as Alton Park and Cripples' Home Siding) was a railway station which served Lord Mayor Treloar's hospital in Alton, Hampshire, England.

History

The station was built by the London and South Western Railway no earlier than 5 April 1910 on the route of the Basingstoke and Alton Light Railway.[1] It was opened c. 1918, and was a private station,[2][3] used by parties of children visiting Lord Mayor Treloar's Cripples Home,[1] which had opened in 1908.[4] The platform was 200 feet (61 m) long.[1] The station was known under three names: Cripples' Home Siding (until at least 1929);[5][6] Alton Park[3][7] and Treloar's Hospital Platform.[2][8]

The station was closed in 1939 by the Southern Railway.[2][3] The platform/line was used for goods traffic until 1967.[citation needed]
