Cole (for Bruton) railway station
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Cole (for Bruton) railway station was a station on the Somerset and Dorset Railway in South Somerset, serving the village of Cole, which is now virtually joined to the small town of Bruton.
Cole was the station where the Dorset Central Railway line from Templecombe met the Somerset Central Railway line from Glastonbury and Street railway station in 1862. Later that year the two companies combined to form the Somerset and Dorset Railway.
Cole station was closed when the Somerset and Dorset was closed in the Beeching cuts in 1966.
