Wyke Regis railway station

Wyke Regis railway station

Wyke Regis Halt was a small railway station on the Portland Branch Railway in the west of the English county of Dorset. Opened in July 1909, it was part of a scheme that saw several halts opened on the GWR with services provided by Railmotors, to counter road competition.

The station closed with the branch in 1952.
