The Old West Bay Railway Station

West Bay railway station was the terminus of the Bridport Railway in west Dorset, England. The line between West Bay and Bridport closed to passengers in 1930, and operated for goods services only until its final closure in 1962. After many years as the office of a boat yard, in 1995 the station was restored with a short length of track at the platform and has operated as a cafe since then.

'Sausage and Pear' sounds an interesting concoction to have for lunch, Rosa. This looks like a station straight out of Oh, Doctor Beeching! . Cheers, Joe
