Bridport station, 1964
This was the terminus for passengers following the closure of West Bay Station in 1930, although freight services continued until 1965. The line survived the immediate aftermath of the Beeching Report, but closed in 1975.
This view shows the service being worked by a single car diesel unit, known affectionately as 'Bubble cars'. This type was found on many of the branch lines of the west of England, and eventually became the longest-serving of the British Railways diesel units of its era. The signal at the far end of the platform is of interest, as it is a Southern Railway type, with upper quadrant, despite this having been a Great Western Railway branch. It would have been replaced during the period when the branch fell within the Southern Region of British Railways.
The station has disappeared without trace under road and industrial estate development.

This station and the line from Maiden Newton survived until 5/5/75.

Bridport: telephone box on Beaminster Road
This red phone box could do with some tender loving care, with regards to the paintwork as well as the glazing. It stands on the acute corner of St. Andrew's Road, although the main course for today's motorist has been altered.
