Yeovil Town was a railway station that served the town of Yeovil in Somerset, England.
History
The station was a stop on the Yeovil to Taunton Line and also had shuttle services to Pen Mill and Yeovil Junction stations. The station opened on 1 June 1861, replacing an earlier Yeovil Hendford railway station when the line was extended. It closed to passenger traffic on 3 October 1966, but freight and parcels traffic continued to use the station until 3 March 1967, when these services were also withdrawn.
The site today
After closure, the station was demolished and the site was cleared to serve as a car and coach park. A cinema and leisure complex has also been built on part of the site.
