Wyke Regis railway station
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
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.
[edit] The Site Today
The former trackbed of the line is a popular walk and the platform is still there in a shallow cutting [1].
