    If you wanna taunt me about writing railway station reviews, go ahead, I don't care. Feel free to…read moreget your Taunt On. This is a very modern looking railway station, which gets quite a bit of traffic and has a bunch of different tracks, and some heavy trains coming through here. It has coverings on all the platforms, except for the big middle one. The building looks like it was just built yesterday, but I wasn't born yesterday, so I'm sure it wasn't. The entrance way looks especially futuristic, and even though the station dates back to 1842, it had a major facelift pretty recently. The footbridge that is next to the station is known as 40 steps, but it's no longer here. Sadly this legend is gone, which was demolished in 2013, and was very sad because it was one of the most famous parts of the station, and that's why I took one star off the station.

    This your average station. They charge fair, average prices that make it worthwhile travelling by…read moretrain compared to car or plane. It is just out of Taunton towards the Minehead road. They have a large car park and car hire at a good rate. They travel to a wide variety of destinations at reasonable times and quite often. They have wi-fi which is useful if you need an internet connection. There are also alot of bed and breakfasts and hotels nearby if you need to stay. I would recommend travelling by train if you want to arrive quickly and cheaply to your destination with no fuss or hassle.

    As the name implies, this serves the well-known Somerset holiday resort of Weston-super-Mare…read more The station itself is on a loop off the main Bristol-Taunton-Exeter main line, thanks to the backward nature of its residents in the 1840s, who resisted proposals for the route of the original main line to run closer to the town. Instead, on 14 June 1841, Weston was connected to the main line by a branch, just over a mile long, and worked initially by horse-drawn carriages. Horse traction remained until 1851, by which time the town had begun to regret being on the end of a branch. This was rectified in 1884 with the construction of the present loop and a handsome station built in the local stone, with large glass canopies over two through platforms and a bay platform. A separate station for summer excursion trains was built just to the north, but closed in 1964. The loop line was singled in 1972, which has since become something of a bottleneck. The station now has a regular service of trains from Weston to Bristol Parkway and from Taunton to Cardiff, providing a half-hourly service to Bristol and an hourly service south to Taunton. This is supplemented by a handful of trains to and from London, and a small number of Cross-Country trains from Plymouth or Paignton to Newcastle. Cross-Country would like to operate more services to Weston, but the timetable is constrained by the single track. The station buffet has been turned into a pub, named 'Off the Rails', known for its changing selection of real ales and cider, and it also does food. There are entrances both to the station approach and the platform, so it's easy to pop in for a pint while you are waiting! The station has level access throughout, a taxi rank, cycle storage and a large car park. Regular buses call here for other parts of the town and surrounding villages: details on http://www.travelinesw.com .

    I don't know how much my mouth weighs, but I have a pretty big one, so if I ever manage to…read moreWeigh-Mouth then I expect my suspicions will be confirmed. This city has nothing to do with that. It was one of my destinations as a kid, so many times. And we had great times coming here as an adult too, it was one of my bff's fave places in England, one of mine too. Haunting memories from throughout my life really. After the long train journey down to Weymouth this is where you will find yourself, at the lovely Weymouth train station that's a few blocks off of the water, hidden away in the town. It's busy and it's a nice holiday destination train station that always makes me happy because of all the amazing memories - and some bad ones as well - but it's still one of my favourite railway stations in the whole country. Having said that, it's really only one of my favourites because of the memories, and the truth is that the station is pretty bland and pretty typical. Flat and much less enjoyable than the city of Weymouth to the South. The old Weymouth station was beautiful, but they got rid of it in 1986 (just before I started coming here) because it was just way too big considering that Weymouth was no longer a very popular destination, which is pretty sad if you ask me. Now it's time to Wey up what to do for my next review.

    The most handy thing about Weymouth Train Station is that it's right in the centre of the town…read more Walk off the platform, across the road, and you're two minutes walk from the beach itself and the main Esplanade. Unlike some stations that are miles out of town you could probably be off the train and paddling in the sea within ten minutes! Otherwise it's a pretty unpretentious station (been there since the 1850's) and is the terminus for all southernbound trains on the main Dorset line. Have to say, it's a very pleasant train journey down there, stopping at various small towns and villages and weaving through the lovely south-west countryside. The station itself is manned from early morning to late at night, there's basic seating available, payphone and toilets and snack facilities. That's about it really, but to be honest it doesn't need any more. It's right in the heart of the destination town and so close to all amenities that it serves it purpose - getting folks to the seaside!
