Train drivers were trained No 1. R T T Camp, Longmoor.

Liphook was the home of N.o 2. Engineers Stores Depot.

I was stationed there from March 1948 until June 1949

I was one of the Regimental Police N C O s

I remember there were about 800 civilians employed

there at that time

Yes, the Longmore Camp and railway was down the Borden Road from Liphook. The railway connected to the main line at Liss, ran to Longmore and I think it then originally (during the war) went on to Borden and connected to the Alton line.
