About Chard Junction

Chard Junction, located in Somerset, was a railway station on the London and South Western Railway’s West of England Main Line, approximately 1 mile southeast of Tatworth. Opened in 1860 and initially named Chard Road, it served as a junction for a branch line to Chard until its closure in 1966. The nearby milk depot operated from 1937 to 1980, while the Chard Junction signal box managed the Station Road level crossing and a passing loop until March 2021, when control was transferred to Basingstoke. This historical context is essential for anyone researching planning applications in the area, particularly concerning transport and infrastructure development.
