Where is the Basingstoke to Alton light railway line?


I guess I should have found this out before I went on a cycle ride to try and find it ;-)

Well after a bit of research I have found some good resources that show the lines location.

Old-Maps.co.uk:
Old maps showing the line as it was around 1911. (you have to search each area)

Openstreetmaps.org
Up to date maps, showing the dismantled line. (Viables to Alton).

I have converted this information into a KML file which can be overlaid in Google Earth/ Maps or used for GPS devices. (Track not 100% accurate) - Just trying to find an easy way to get it online.
