Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Spetisbury railway station was a station in the English county of Dorset. It was located between Blandford Forum and Bailey Gate on the Somerset and Dorset Joint Railway. The station consisted of two platforms and shelters. The station was opened on the 1st of September 1860 by the London and South Western Railway as part of the Dorset Central Railway, and later became part of the Somerset and Dorset Joint Railway. The station was transferred to the Southern Railway at the Grouping of 1923, and relegated to a halt in 1934. Becoming part of the Southern Region of British Railways when the railways were nationalised in 1947, the halt was closed in 1956 as part of an economy campaign.
