The Former Station Site on Dorchester Road
Radipole railway station stood on the south side of Spa Road, close to the station address at 229 Dorchester Road in Radipole near Redlands. The site is no longer a working railway station, so there is no current station-operated car park, fare table or commuter parking facility to use at the former platform location (disused-stations.org.uk).
The passenger station closed on 31 December 1983 and was quickly demolished (disused-stations.org.uk). Drivers heading for a train should therefore treat the Dorchester Road address as a historic station location rather than a rail-served parking entrance.
