Midsomer Norton railway station

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Midsomer Norton railway station (originally Midsomer Norton & Welton, later Midsomer Norton South) was a station on the Somerset and Dorset Joint Railway between Bath Green Park and Shepton Mallet. It served the town of Midsomer Norton. The station was immortalised in 1964 in the song "Slow Train" by Flanders and Swann. It closed in 1966 with the closure of the S&DJR under the Beeching Axe.

The S&DJR station was on a fairly steep slope which took the railway up from the valley floor at Radstock into the Mendips, with the summit of the line at Masbury. It has extensive gardens which were cultivated by the station staff and won many prizes.

Midsomer Norton & Welton was also the name of a second station on the Great Western Railway line from Bristol to Frome via Radstock (originally the Bristol & North Somerset Railway). This station was in the valley at Welton. It closed in 1959 with the closure of the line to passenger traffic.
