It gets complicated, very complicated.

The history of the Somerset & Dorset Railway towards the southern end of the line is very complicated. I apologise in advance if any details are incorrect.

 

This typical housing estate scene, with the lady in a purple jacket and a cyclist on the old S&D track bed shows where their own tracks from Bath ended on the curved approach to Broadstone Station. It is here that their services joined London and South Western Railway metals. That company's track bed came in where the modern housing development now exists. However, just a couple of hundred metres through that estate, their old track bed still exists as the Castleman Trailway all the way to Wimborne and Ringwood.

 

At this point it is easier to refer to the schematic map below.
