Weymouth Quay railway station is a disused [ cite web|url=http://www.networkrail.co.uk/aspx/3828.aspx |title=Network Rail - Current Timetables |accessdate=2008-08-01 |date=2008-04-18 |publisher=Network Rail ] railway station in Weymouth, Dorset, England at the terminus of the Weymouth Harbour Tramway. Until September 1987 it was the regular terminus and starting point for boat trains, linking to the ferry services running through the streets of the town.
After the regular boat trains were ended, it was still occasionally used for special trains, the last running in 1999. The track and station are no longer used at all, although they are still part of the rail network. The station buildings are now used as offices by Condor Ferries who operate a ferry service to the Channel Islands.
There is talk that the link may be re-used during the 2012 Olympic Games, of which all of the sailing events will take place in Weymouth and Portland.Fact|date=September 2007
