Chetnole railway station is a small rural station serving the village of Chetnole, Dorset, England. The station is on the Heart of Wessex Line 21¼ miles (34 km) north of Weymouth towards Westbury. The station is a request stop, meaning passengers wishing to board a train need to signal clearly to the driver as the train approaches.
History[]
The station was opened on 11 September 1933, being originally built of timber. This was replaced by a concrete structure, believed to be in the 1960s. The line was converted to a single track in 1968.
