Gosport is the largest town in Britain without an operational railway station. The Gosport Ferry provides quick access to Portsmouth Harbour railway station, terminus of the Portsmouth Direct Line to London. Due to heavy traffic (see below) this ferry is very well used. At one time the Gosport Ferry Company operated steam ferries, until the arrival in 1966 of two identical (and then very modern) diesel ferries, named "Gosport Queen" and "Portsmouth Queen". In 1971 a third ferry called "Solent Enterprise" joined the fleet. She was a slightly larger, more luxurious version of the "Queens". The company now operates two new modern ferries along with the two 1966 veterans. The first was built in 2001 and is named "Spirit of Gosport". After the retirement of the "Solent Enterprise" in 2003, a second modern and slightly larger ferry was added to the fleet and was named the "Spirit of Portsmouth". All ferries have been able to carry cycles and motorcycles.
