Shillingstone railway station

Shillingstone railway station was a station on the Somerset and Dorset Joint Railway (S&DJR), serving the village of Shillingstone in the English county of Dorset. Shillingstone is the last surviving example of a station built by the Dorset Central Railway (one of the forerunners of the S&DJR). The

station closed in 1966, when services were withdrawn from the S&DJR route. Since 2001, enthusiasts have been working to reopen the station as a heritage railway attraction. The main building has now been renovated and opened to the public as a museum, shop, and refreshment room in 2008.
