West Moors is a closed railway station in Dorset. Opened in 1867, It became the junction of the Southampton and Dorchester Railway and the Salisbury and Dorset Junction Railway. Although passenger services were withdrawn in 1964 as a result of the Beeching Report, continued use of the line into the Royal Army Ordnance Corps fuel depot at West Moors resulted in the track not being lifted until 1975.
