Charlton Marshall railway station
- Charlton Marshall railway station
Charlton Marshall Halt was a station in the English county of Dorset. It was located between Blandford Forum and Bailey Gate on the Somerset and Dorset Joint Railway. The station consisted of two short platforms and shelters.
History
The station was opened on the 9th of July, 1928 by the Southern Railway. It became part of the Southern Region of British Railways when the railways were nationalised in 1947. The halt was closed in 1956 as part of an economy campaign. Trains continued to pass the site until the S&DJR closed in 1966.
Track was finally lifted in 1969, as the railway was still open until the closure of the goods terminal at Blandford that year. The site was in a cutting, which now part of a footpath and bridleway.
