Dunkerton Colliery Halt railway station

The station opened on 9 October 1911 by the Great Western Railway, around a year after the line and the main stations had been opened. It was, from the outset, a basic, unstaffed halt intended to serve the villages of Tunley and Carlingcott as well as workers at the colliery itself. The station first closed to passengers on 22 March 1915, reopened on 9 July 1923, and closed again on 21 September 1925^[1] to both passenger and goods traffic.^[2]
