Wyke Regis Halt, Part of the dismantled Weymouth to Portland line, now the Rodwell Trail
Wyke Regis Halt was a small railway station on the Portland Branch Railway in the west of the English county of Dorset. Opened in July 1909, it was part of a scheme that saw several halts opened on the GWR with services provided by Railmotors to counter road competition.
The station closed with the branch in 1952.
The site today[]
The former trackbed of the line is a popular walk called the Rodwell Trail, and the platform is still there in a shallow cutting [1].
