Remains of Sandsfoot Castle Halt

Uploader's Comments

This small station halt was on the Weymouth and Portland Railway line. The line had been in use since 1864, but this halt opened only in 1932, as an attempt to compete with the local buses. The line closed to passengers in 1952 (just 20 years after this halt opened), although freight trains ran until 1965. The track bed is now a public footpath and cycle way.
