Stourpaine & Durweston Halt was a station in the English county of Dorset. It was located between Shillingstone and Blandford Forum on the Somerset and Dorset Joint Railway. The station consisted of a small concrete platform and shelter.
History
The station was opened on 9 July 1928 by the Southern Railway. It became part of the Southern Region of British Railways when the railways were nationalised in 1948. The halt was closed in 1956 as part of an economy campaign. Trains continued to pass the site until the S&DJR closed in 1966. The site is now hidden in trees off the A350 Blandford to Shaftesbury road, near the junction with the A357.
