Background

History

Opened on 20 January 1857 by the Great Western Railway with the section of their route from to . This completed the Wilts, Somerset and Weymouth line from , the first part of which had opened in 1848. The station consisted of two platforms with a flint station building and goods shed at the south end. A signal box was added later - it was closed in the summer of 1988, when the "no signalman token system" was introduced between Maiden Newton and Yeovil. From 1857 to 1975 the station was the junction for the Bridport Railway and an extra bay platform was added at the north end of the station for these trains. This can still be seen at the west end of the station and this end of the trackbed…

Description

The station retains two platforms as it is a passing place on the single line between and Yeovil Pen Mill. The entrance is on the northbound platform, the side closest to the village. Access to the southbound platform is normally by the footbridge but there is a level crossing at the south end of the station for passengers who are unable to use the bridge.
