Sandford & Banwell Station which closed in 1963 has been incorporated into a sheltered housing complex known as a Sandford Station Care Village. A short length of track with a 1940s Sentinel shunting locomotive, 2 goods wagons and a British Railways Mark 1 Coach complete the railway scene. The restored station accessed from the Strawberry Line footpath and National Cycle Route 26 is open for refreshments from April to October.
