The station was on the Langport and Castle Cary Railway of the Great Western Railway, and was situated around a mile west from Somerton Tunnel. While it closed in 1962, the line itself is still in use as part of the Reading to Taunton line.[1]
The site is one option being considered in 2021 for a new station to serve the nearby towns of Langport and Somerton.[2]
