West Bay railway station was the terminus of the Bridport Railway in western Dorset, England. In 1879, the Great Western Railway, which held the operating license for the original Bridport Railway (which ran as far as Bridport town), decided to extend the railway to Bridport Harbour. Construction began in 1883, and the line opened on March 31, 1884. The station was named West Bay by the GWR to encourage holiday traffic. The line between West Bay and Bridport closed to passengers in 1930 and operated for goods services only until its final closure in 1962.. Subsequently an enthusiasts special ran on 25th August 1963
After many years as the office of a boat yard, in 1995 the station was restored with a short length of track at the platform.
The station building, along with two refurbished carriages, is now operating as Platform Restaurant.
From West Bay, a section of the former track bed can now be walked into Bridport.
