It's 11.43 on the 21st September 2019 as we see, on a bright sunny day, two trains passing at Maiden Newton. The train on the right running in is the 11.39 to Weymouth and the train on the left is the 11.41 to Bristol TempleMeads. Copyright Chris Osment. N.B. The Bridport branch platform was on the left - this fell into disuse on the closure of the Bridport branch on the 5th May 1975.
