In The Railway shed. - a photo on Flickriver

            Williton Station has its own car-park and is about a mile from the village centre. It is the principal intermediate train crossing place on the West Somerset Railway.
The station is typical of Brunel’s design with booking office, waiting rooms, Ladies’ and Gents’ all maintained in their original Victorian glory. The platforms have trolleys, trunks, bikes, milk churns and the general paraphernalia one would have seen decorating the station in the old days.
We have a well-stocked café and shop with indoor seating as well as benches on the platform where you can watch all the activity as the steam trains come and go.

The station was first opened on 31 March 1862 when the West Somerset Railway started operations between Norton Junction and Watchet. A single platform was provided, on the left side of trains travelling towards Watchet.  In 1874 a second ‘loop’ track and platform was opened and trains could then pass in the station. 

I think one or two of the guys here today were there for the original opening!
