Ghost Train: Portland Branch Railway (Melcombe Regis to Easton)

An animated look at the lost railway link between Weymouth and Portland! #disused #railways #weymouth #portland #dorset #disusedrailways

The Weymouth and Portland Railway and the Easton and Church Hope Railway were operated jointly by the Great Western Railway and the LSWR. As far as Portland, the line was well used, but the onward section to Easton was disappointing commercially, and the E&CHR company, which owned the infrastructure, fell into receivership. The entire line closed to passengers in 1952 and completely in 1965. There is no railway activity on the former route now.
