The late poet laureate John Betjeman once wrote a poem about this simple country railway station. Once under threat of closure, the station was restored in the early 1990s and, in 1994 his daughter, Candida Lycett Green unveiled this plaque on the 'down' platform, which contains the text of the poem. Whilst the text is just about readable in this image, it's easier here http://www.dilton-marsh.org.uk/villages/marsh.php
