Following the closure of the route between Alton and Winchester, the line from Alresford eastwards to Alton was reopened in preservation by the Watercress Line, but not the section west of Alresford (including Itchen Abbas).

It is unlikely the line will ever be re-opened to Winchester because the M3 and five houses have been built at various points on its route.

At the beginning of the 1980s, the original station building was demolished and a new house built on the site, where parts of the platform still stand in its garden.

To the east, between the station site and Alresford, is the now disused but complete viaduct over Northington Road.
