layout The entrance and offices are on the northern platform which is served by trains going towards London. A large canopy covers much of the other platform. This is normally reached by crossing a footbridge, but people who find this difficult to use can cross the track under the supervision of the signaller who operates the level crossing. The old signal box still stands on the other side of this, and at the other end of the station can be seen the old goods shed. The station buffet appeared in a list of "highly commended" station cafes published in The Guardian in 2009. Services South Western Railway operate hourly throughout most of the week between , Sherborne, and London Waterloo station. Services are timetabled to pass at Sherborne but the double track provides some flexibility should one of them be running late.
