Templecombe
Templecombe station as photographed on 8th March 1964 photograph: Mike Morant collection |
| The station was originally an interchange between the S&DJR and LSWR, who arrived in 1862 and 1860 respectively. It was extensively rebuilt in 1938, and continued to serve the line until 1965, when the S&D line was closed, along with several other stations. However, in 1983 the station was re-opened, and gradually facilities have been added over time, and it has won awards for the best kept small station. |

This statue in the garden is of a man supposedly tearing pages out of a timetable and scattering them around himself. As well as the exisiting route, the station used to serve the S&DJR line to Templecombe Junction but is now reduced to a single platform face. The opposite platform is now being used as a car park, and the disused S&DJR platform now forms part of the garden behind the station. |

Looking west towards Sherborne. The down platform is now a car
park, and the area behind the platform on the right used to be the S&DJR
platform and connecting lines.
