History
The station was opened on 19 July 1860 when the LSWR opened its Yeovil and Exeter Railway. The main building was designed by Sir William Tite and has been designated as a Grade II listed building.[1] The office (converted to a cafe in late-2013) by the main road was used to operate the weighbridge. When it opened, a goods shed was built, now the site of a builder's yard. It can still be seen from the railway line today. A wooden signal box was erected in 1875 on the eastbound platform, just east of the main offices.[2]Шаблон:Page needed
In 1923 the LSWR became part of the Southern Railway following the Railways Act 1921, and on 1 January 1948 the Southern Railway was itself nationalised to become the Southern Region of British Railways.
A new signal box was built in 1960 a little to the east of the old one, which was then demolished, located between the old goods shed and the platforms.[3]Шаблон:Page needed
