Thank you John, thats just what I was looking for, and you have confirmed my supsicions! It would seem the line finally closed in 1960.
If it is of any interest I have the following links from Subbrit & good ol' Wikipedia with details of the stations you mention. This is the only information I can find so far, so when I'm next back in Aldershot I think I'll have to pay a visit to the library to find more...

Again, many thanks.
