The most handy thing about Weymouth Train Station is that it’s right in the centre of the town. 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!
