Cranmore, Shepton Mallet BA4 4QP
Cranmore railway station
During the station's heyday, Cranmore originally had two platforms, but with the closure in 1960s, the site became derelict. Platform 2 was demolished and was not rebuilt as part of the ESR's restoration at the time. However, with preserved traffic increasing (and as platform 1 sometimes became overcrowded during special events), the ESR has rebuilt the long-demolished platform 2, along with its waiting room as an educational and interpretation centre, enabling volunteers and staff of the ESR to learn new skills and to display the history associated with the preserved line. In 2018, the ESR received £46,500 through National Lottery support.[3] Following the completion of the first phase, in 2019 the ESR received a further grant of £58,700 from the National Lottery Fund to finish the platform 2 and complete other works at the station.[citation needed] This was largely completed at the start of 2020, with the whole platform being constructed and surfaced. Further detail items are in hand which are to be added to the platform.
As the main station and home of the East Somerset Railway, Cranmore station also provides facilities for visitors:
- Car parking
- Children's play area
- Picnic area
- Restaurant
- Toilets
- Shop
- Art gallery
- Footpath to Cranmore West Station via the Engine Shed
Disabled access to the platforms is available.
