Hayling Island is an island off the south coast of England, in the borough of Havant in the county of Hampshire, near Portsmouth. Hayling Island is a true island, completely surrounded by sea. Looking at its north to south orientation, it is shaped like an inverted T, about 6.5 kilometres (4.0 mi) long and 6.5 kilometres (4.0 miles) wide. A road bridge connects its northern end to the mainland of England at Langstone. The Hayling Ferry is a small foot-passenger ferry connecting to the Eastney area of the city of Portsmouth on the neighbouring Portsea Island. To the west is Langstone Harbour and to the east is Chichester Harbour.
The natural beach at Hayling was predominantly sandy, but in recent years it has been mechanically topped with shingle dredged from the bed of the Solent in an effort to reduce beach erosion and reduce the potential to flood low-lying land. At low tide, the East Winner sandbank is visible, extending a mile out to sea. The coastline in this area has substantially changed since Roman times: it is believed much land has been lost from the coasts of Hayling and Selsey by erosion and subsequent flooding.
Hayling Island has a non-League football club, Hayling United F.C., which plays at Hayling Park. Although largely residential, Hayling is also a holiday, windsurfing and sailing centre, the site where windsurfing was invented. Until March 2015, Hayling Ferry linked Portsmouth and Hayling Island. The ferry was busy in summer in good weather, bringing tourists and cyclists to Hayling.
Terrier steam locomotives pulled carriages along the 5-mile (8 km) Hayling Billy Line from Havant Station on the mainland to a station which was located at the northern end of Staunton Avenue, passing through Langstone where there was a Halt. A tourist attraction — the East Hayling Light Railway — is a 2 ft (610 mm) gauge railway that runs for just over 1 mile (1.6 km) from Beachlands Station to Eastoke Corner with aspirations to extend the route to Ferry Point within the next few years. Oysters have been fished on the Hayling oysterbeds, at the northwest corner of the island, as long ago as Roman times, documented in town records since 1615.

Hayling Seaside Railway - 13/01/2018
A return to the Hayling Seaside Railway for the first time in just over two years on Saturday 13th January 2018.
The reason for the visit was that the railway was running a Steam-Hauled passenger service with the Hampshire Narrow-Gauge Railway Trust's 'Bagnall' 0-4-0ST W/No.2091 Wendy. Assistance was provided by the HSR's 4wDH No.1 Alan B. as Wendy does not have air-braking equipment for the coaches.
In this video we see the train at various places along the short line between Eastoke Corner and Beachlands.

Hayling Island - 1963
Although not technically a Beeching Axe closure, the short branch line from Havant on the South Coast of England to Hayling Island was proposed for closure during the winter of 1962/63 by which time Dr Richard Beeching was in charge of British Railways and had instituted the surveys and investigations which led to his notorious Plan which would be published in March 1963. The line didn't even fit into the economic pattern of Beeching closures as it was still operating at a profit at this time but the state of the viaduct at Langstone which connected the Island to the mainland was such that BR decided that repairs were too expensive and thus the line was to close altogether on 2nd November 1963. Our scenes are at Hayling Island station in August that year as a train headed by ex-LBSCR Terrier no 36270 arrives and is run round before departing for the mainland.

Hayling Seaside Railway Feb 2016
A short video of the Hayling Seaside Railway in Hampshire, southern England on Saturday 20th February 2016. It is two foot gauge. The video also shows the construction of the new engine and carriage shed at Eaststoke corner.
Hayling Island Railway
The Hayling Seaside Railway, formerly East Hayling Light Railway, is a 2 ft (610 mm) narrow gauge railway on Hayling Island, Hampshire, England. It is mainly a diesel operated railway, though from time to time the railway hires steam locomotives from other narrow gauge railways. It operates passenger trains between Beachlands and Eastoke Corner.
The Hayling Seaside Railway began life as the East Hayling Light Railway (EHLR), formed by Bob Haddock, a member of the society who in the mid-1980s attempted to reinstate the Hayling Billy Line.
Havant Borough Council had already decided to turn the disused railway line into a cycle-way and footpath which precluded any chance of rebuilding the line as standard gauge, the option preferred by the committee of the society. Some members including Haddock decided to create their own railway elsewhere on Hayling Island and after numerous setbacks, a site was found within the Mill Rythe Holiday Camp where the EHLR was constructed and ran successfully for many years.
Perhaps inspired by the success of the EHLR, Havant Council took the step of including a railway in their draft plan for Hayling's popular Pleasure Beach. Haddock submitted a plan for a narrow gauge railway to meet the Council's criteria, but the council refused planning permission. After a campaign lasting over 12 years, permission to build the railway was granted, but only after the Council's decision was overturned by the Department of the Environment.
Following closure of the EHLR at Mill Rythe, work started in October 2001 on the building of Beachlands Station on land leased from the neighbouring Funland Amusement Park. Work continued through 2002 and into 2003 and the line finally opened to passengers on 5 July 2003, re-christened as The Hayling Seaside Railway. As of 2006 there was a mile of track in place and it was planned to extend it to the ferry terminal connecting the island with Portsmouth so providing a useful transport link. However, in 2015 the Portsmouth to Hayling ferry was withdrawn from operation due to the owners becoming bankrupt so this extension looks doubtful.
In the early part of 2015 after a lengthy period of campaigning to the local authority work started on a new depot at Eastoke Corner as the lease on the depot at Beachlands had run out.

The branch line to Minehead was closed by British Rail in 1971, but it still survives as the West Somerset Railway. Britain's longest private line.

Storm Brian batters Hayling Island - floods and pushes Beach Huts around
Decided to watch Storm Brian from the safety of our Beach Hut on Hayling Island - it is a good few metres higher than sea level and 50 Metres away from it. But not far enough - the storm combined with the Spring tide meant that things got a bit scary.
After we took in a bit of water we decided to lock up, abandon ship and wade to the car. We drove further West on the island to higher ground and take more video. We walked back as the tide receded and found some of the huts had floated and moved around knocking into ours - ours generally doesn't move as it is made from a 1940's summer-house from Oak and weighs at least a ton.
Nothing to worry about, this is a regular occurrence at Hayling, the council will come around with a fork-lift and lift them back at some point!
