locking whatsoever on the section of line into Portland station. He once again declined to give authority for opening the line. At Portland work started on erecting a temporary wooden platform on the five chain (100m) radius curve between Portland station and Castletown road bridge. The platform was connected to the original Portland station by a footpath and was completed by 19 July. It was inspected by Colonel Yorke on 14 August 1902; he was not happy with the sharp curve but as this appeared to be only a temporary arrangement pending the building of the new station he accepted it. The Church Hope line opened on 1 September 1902. The physical connection between the two lines at Portland was not approved for passenger operation, so the branch service was worked as a separate section from the temporary Portland station to Easton.

682:. It opened in 1865. From the late 1840s until 1872, Portland Breakwater was built, a prodigious construction task that created a very large safe harbour. It was decided to provide a railway connection to the breakwater, which was used as a pier for bunkering ships. This was constructed by the LSWR and the GWR jointly and opened in 1876. The fourth line was the Easton and Church Hope Railway. This line was conceived as a simple descent to bring stone down from quarries to a new jetty at Church Ope, but after their line was authorised in 1867, the Company delayed useful construction, and a change of plan followed, with several acts of Parliament authorising modifications to the route and extension of time. It finally opened in 1900. 1279:

name was unchanged. The authorised share capital was £50,000. Most importantly running powers were obtained over the Admiralty line so as to reach and connect with Weymouth and Portland Railway. Having obtained the necessary authority, the company once again failed to act to construct the line, and in 1885 further plans were made for alterations to the route. The extremely ambitious intention now was to take over the Weymouth and Portland Railway, even though that company was successfully trading, and the Easton and Church Hope Railway itself had not so far run any trains whatsoever. The takeover never happened.

were too high. In addition since the Merchants' Railway had been opened many of the quarries had established routes by which their product was taken by traction engines to a loading point on that line. The Easton and Church Hope line had arrived too late to secure this kind of traffic. The Admiralty ended its agreement for maintenance of their own line as they had no further use for it and the Easton company had to apply to Parliament for powers to carry out that work itself. The necessary act of Parliament, the

They had rights on some of the land to be crossed by the line and were due compensation. The sum of £850 was agreed. At the end of 1872, the parliamentary powers expired; 1,320 yards (1,200m) of the railway had been built but not put into operation, and £20,250 had been expended.

Here, there is little evidence of the old railway, until east of Castletown, within Portland Port, where it re-emerges to climb the steep hillside of East Weares. This section has become a fine walk and leads to the spectacular cliffside cutting above Church Ope Cove.

A request by the Weymouth and Portland company that its line might be operated by GWR broad gauge trains only was objected to by the Board of Trade: the line was authorised as a mixed gauge operation.

In June 1927, there was a joint officers' conference of the Southern and Great Western companies examining the running costs of the line. Carrying the local stone out and coal in was very expensive due to the steep gradients but it was considered that the contributory value of the traffic due to long

In 1901 the Admiralty decided to acquire the Admiralty line, taking it over from the GWR and the LSWR.

The line was to be made in a zigzag pattern and

The line was being operated jointly by the Southern Railway (as successor to the LSWR) and the Great Western Railway, but in 1931, the branch was brought into line with other pooling arrangements between the two companies, and the Southern Railway took over the entire operation of passenger services

In September 1865 an agreement was finally settled, and early in October the Board of Trade approved the working arrangements. So far as the propelling from Weymouth was concerned, the resolution appears to have been that the train engine ran round at Weymouth Junction, hauling its train to and from

Some of the work was attended to and Yolland paid another visit on 6 August 1864. He found that although some strengthening of the viaducts had been attempted, little else had been rectified, and no solution had been proposed to the dangerous reversal of trains from Weymouth Junction to the station.

The new integrated Portland station, serving both lines, was opened on 7 May 1905, and on March a trial run had been made to Easton with a steam railmotor. In September 1905 it was announced that an hourly train service would be operated on the branch, with rail motors alternating with conventional

Today, parts of the line can still be walked, but the course of the backwater railway viaduct has long since been replaced by Weymouth’s Swannery road bridge, which was built in virtually the same place. The former platforms at Westham and Rodwell are still to be seen and this section is a popular

In June 1909 halts were built at Westham and Wyke Regis and on 1 July the long-awaited improved rail service started with 13 trains each way between Weymouth and Portland, with an additional nine rail motors. Only the rail motors were able to serve the new halts at Westham and Wyke Regis, and they

In 1866, another line was proposed on the Isle of Portland: the Easton and Church Hope Railway. It was to be on the south-east side of the island; it was intended as another line to bring quarried stone down to the water's edge where a new jetty would be constructed. The act of Parliament for the

Much of the actual quarrying took place at high points on the Island, and getting the heavy material down to a quayside was a considerable task. In the early 1820s, this led to a tramway being promoted by interested parties, and the Portland Railway was incorporated by an act of Parliament, the

1469:

The question of a joint station at Portland had arisen several times over the past two years. In January 1900 the estimated cost was considered to be £18,000. It was suggested that the Easton company should pay £2,000 as its share of the cost of the upgrade, and it quickly agreed, as it had

As it was paid for by the quarry operators who used it, its income was rather haphazard, although the public may have been allowed to use it. Maintenance was not carried out diligently on the track and the cable system, and stoppages due to breakdowns were common. Notwithstanding continual

Over time the development of passenger and goods traffic on the branch had now outstripped the original Portland station facilities. The platform was extended by 100 feet (30m) to a length of 276 ft (84m) in February 1891, making it capable of accommodating eleven 4-wheeled coaches.
