Travelling to or from Portsmouth this weekend?

Rail maintenance means buses will replace trains between Fareham and Portsmouth, and between Havant and Portsmouth, on Saturday 3 and Sunday 4 October. Just our luck that the work has landed on this particular weekend!

🚌 Our vintage bus service is still running from the Fareham station area. Please board at the bus stop near Fareham Fire Station on Station Approach. The vintage bus is separate from the rail replacement service.

Please check your train journey before setting off and allow extra time: https://www.nationalrail.co.uk/engineering-works/pmh-3-oct-20261003/

First layout announcement for RailEx Fareham 2026: Ropley Station, in OO gauge.

Based on the Watercress Line’s Ropley station in Hampshire, this detailed preserved-railway layout captures the busy heart of the line, where locomotives are maintained and restored.

With a two-platform station, workshops, locomotive yard and plenty of realistic shunting and train movements, there will be something happening wherever you look.

See Ropley Station at RailEx Fareham on Saturday 3 and Sunday 4 October at Fareham Leisure Centre.

RailEx 2026 is bigger than ever, with an extra exhibition room bringing even more layouts and specialist traders. Adults are £10 in advance, and children go free.
