Back on the S&D
Our most recent leg of exploring the ex-Somerset & Dorset Railway featured Charlton Marshall Halt. It only opened in 1928, apparently in response to competition from bus services. The halt had no buildings and no facilities. Given that only a few local stoppers were scheduled, it was never busy and closed in 1956. A notable feature was how short the concrete platforms were, by our judgement suitable for just a single carriage.
