Williton railway station

Williton railway station is a station in Williton, Somerset, England. It was opened by the West Somerset Railway in 1862 and closed by British Rail early in 1971. It was reopened in 1976 by the present day West Somerset Railway, a heritage line. Locomotive workshops are situated here and it is the headquarters of the Diesel and Electric Preservation Group (DEPG).
==History==

The station was first opened on 31 March 1862 when the West Somerset Railway started operations between Norton Junction and . A single platform was provided, on the left side of trains travelling towards Watchet. In 1874 a second track and platform was opened and trains could then pass in the station; a new road bridge was built at the south end of the station before the loop was opened, but the level crossing next to the platform was left in place. The railway was operated by the Bristol and Exeter Railway which became a part of the Great Western Railway in 1876, but the West Somerset Railway remained an independent company until 1922 when it too was absorbed by the Great Western. In 1907 and again in 1937 the passing loop was extended to allow longer trains to pass at Williton. In 1948, the line became a part of the Western Region of British Railways as a result of nationalisation in 1948. It was closed on 4 January 1971.
On 28 August 1976 a new West Somerset Railway reopened the station. It was the terminus of the line from until 7 May 1978 when the line was extended to . The goods shed and yard have since been adapted for restoring and repairing locomotives and carriages.〔
