North Hayling station was a halt^[2] on the single track Hayling Island branch, most often used to load oysters caught by local fishermen^[3], but also ornithologists and ramblers^[4]. The station, along with the line was closed, in 1963^[5]. The station was located on the west coast of Hayling Island, very close to the coast^[6]. The station was very basic, with a timber concourse and wooden shelter^[7]. The station has been demolished and virtually nothing is left of the old line^[8].
