![A BRCW Type 3 arrives at Tisbury, Wiltshire, in October 1984 with a service from Exeter to Waterloo.<br><br>[John McIntyre /10/1984]](/images/45000/45268.jpg "Tisbury")
![A class 50 is about to take a Waterloo to Exeter service through the closed (1966) station at Dinton, west of Salisbury, in May 1985.<br><br>[John McIntyre /05/1985]](/images/22000/22030.jpg "Dinton")
![An Exeter - Waterloo service arrives at Tisbury, Wiltshire in February 1992 behind a class 33 locomotive.<br><br>[John McIntyre 27/02/1992]](/images/18000/18957.jpg "Tisbury")
![Looking west over the former Dinton station (closed 1966), on the Salisbury to Exeter main line, in February 1992. While it still appears to be double track, the right hand line (the old up line) was only used by this time as a connection between the RAF site at Dinton and the RAF site at Chilmark to the west. Both had their own internal narrow gauge systems and there were trans-shipment sheds to move <I>supplies</I> between standard gauge and narrow gauge waggons.<br><br>[John McIntyre 27/02/1992]](/images/22000/22539.jpg "Dinton")
![A class 33 locomotive departs from Tisbury, Wiltshire, on the single-line section between Templecombe and Salisbury, with an up train for Waterloo (accompanied by plenty of exhaust) in February 1992.<br><br>[John McIntyre 27/02/1992]](/images/32000/32289.jpg "Tisbury")
![This rather splendid 1930's signal box would not look out of place in South West London - Wimbledon, for example [see image 9428]. It is still used, and has been updated with double glazing - no mean feat with those curved window spaces. A spur from the Somerset and Dorset ran up to the platform on the right, now bounded by trees.<br><br>[Ken Strachan 28/07/2012]](/images/39000/39797.jpg "Templecombe")
![A fine collection of rucksacks awaits the 6-coach 17.35 to London Waterloo as it pulls into the platform at Sherborne, Dorset, on 28 July 2012. The cast iron canopy supports are very nice, but, from this angle, the canopy is hiding the impressive stone station building. <br><br>[Ken Strachan 28/07/2012]](/images/39000/39862.jpg "Sherborne")
![This picture shows why South Western guards never make eye contact with anyone with snakes in their hair. The hat is part of a sculpture called Tempus Fugit, located behind the up platform at Templecombe.<br><br>[Ken Strachan 28/07/2012]](/images/39000/39883.jpg "Templecombe")
![Tata Steel is assembling a new extension to the former down platform at Templecombe, with work in progress seen here on 28 July. Notice the goods shed, now in industrial use; and the (currently closed) barrow crossing at the end of the platform.<br><br>[Ken Strachan 28/07/2012]](/images/39000/39891.jpg "Templecombe")
![The 15.43 service to Basingstoke arriving at Templecombe 31 minutes down on 27th December 2013. The platform to the right (which once offered interchange with a spur from the S&D) is now only accessible between the hours of 06.00 and 11.00 on weekdays.<br><br>[Ken Strachan 27/12/2013]](/images/46000/46204.jpg "Templecombe")
![South West trains 159012 leads 159003 into Gillingham (Dorset) station on 18 October 2014 with a Waterloo to Exeter service. <br><br>[John McIntyre 18/10/2014]](/images/49000/49203.jpg "Gillingham (Dorset)")
![Looking west at Gillingham (Dorset) on 18 October 2014 as a pair of South West Trains Class 159 DMUs departs on a Waterloo to Exeter service.<br><br>[John McIntyre 18/10/2014]](/images/49000/49527.jpg "Gillingham (Dorset)")
![Autumn in Dorset, as a pair of SWT 159 units meets at Sherborne station on 20 October 2014. Left is 159014 on an Exeter to Waterloo train, while 159021 is operating the reverse service.<br><br>[John McIntyre 20/10/2014]](/images/49000/49231.jpg "Sherborne")
![Departing west from Templecombe on 20 October 2014, a SWT Class 158 and Class 159 pass the disused signalbox before joining the double track section to Yeovil Junction.<br><br>[John McIntyre 20/10/2014]](/images/49000/49480.jpg "Templecombe")
![A view west through Sherborne Station from Gas House Hill level crossing on 12 May 2015. The main up side building stands beyond a now rare Southern Railway style fully roofed footbridge.<br><br>[David Pesterfield 12/05/2015]](/images/51000/51363.jpg "Sherborne")
![Looking west along the London bound platform at Sherborne in May 2015 showing the 1860 station building, complete with platform canopy. Part of the covered footbridge staircase stands on the right. <br><br>[David Pesterfield 12/05/2015]](/images/51000/51381.jpg "Sherborne")
![Looking west along the car park at Sherborne Station on 12 May, with the former goods shed at the far end. A large replica totem shows it is now called <I>The Railway Shed</I> and being used by a fibreglass fabricator. <br><br>[David Pesterfield 12/05/2015]](/images/51000/51418.jpg "Sherborne")
![View west along the down platform at Sherborne on 12 May, with anxious looks from passengers awaiting the 09.35 to Exeter (07.10 ex Waterloo). South West trains 159106 arrived shortly afterwards running 33 minutes late. <br><br>[David Pesterfield 12/05/2015]](/images/51000/51567.jpg "Sherborne")
![SWT 159106 stands at Sherborne Station shortly after 10.00 on 12 May with the 09.32 arrival from London Waterloo heading for Exeter St. Davids. This unit started life as TransPennine Express 158809, before the 158s were displaced by the arrival of the class 185 DMUs. <br><br>[David Pesterfield 12/05/2015]](/images/51000/51760.jpg "Sherborne")
