Background
History
The station was opened in 1874. There was a small goods yard to the north of the station, towards the entrance to the Combe Down Tunnel, which loaded Fuller's earth from Tucking Mill. South of the station, a signal box presided over the double track junction; the railway then ran across the Midford Valley on the extant high viaduct. The station was closed with the rest of the line in March 1966 under the Beeching Axe, although it had been unstaffed for some years. For about four years from 1911 to 1915, Midford had a second railway station, Midford Halt; it was located on the Great Western Railway's Camerton branch, which passed under the S&DJR viaduct. }}
Description
After a long period in private hands, the site is now part of Two Tunnels Greenway, a surfaced cycleway and footpath. The platform and remains of the goods shed survive. The station is now owned by the New Somerset and Dorset Railway, which has plans to rebuild the station building and relay the track, once the cycleway will be diverted or accommodated. The site has been cleared to uncover the remains of the old station.
