Railway Crossing, Creech Bottom, Dorset
The Purbeck Way crosses the railway line at this point. This section of the line is used by trains carrying Liquefied Petroleum Gas from the BP terminal at Furzebrook. On average eleven trains a week arrive at Furzebrook where they are loaded with butane and propane destined for BP's distribution terminal at Avonmouth. On 3rd January 2002 the remaining track was re-laid at Norden to connect with this section, re-establishing the rail link between Swanage and the main line that was closed in 1972.
