Yeovil Town was a railway station that served the town of Yeovil in Somerset, England.
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.[1] It closed to passenger traffic on 3 October 1966,[2] but freight and parcels traffic continued to use the station until 3 March 1967, when these services were also withdrawn.
