Soon after leaving Evercreech, and just after crossing the W.R. main line we came to a stand at Cole at 09.38. Cole was a small station served by double track, the main station building comprising of a waiting room and booking office, was on the Bournemouth bound side. A few hung out of the windows on the crisp and bright morning. The guard walked up and down the platform announcing that the last Somerset and Dorset tickets were on sale here - anybody for souvenirs? At this, it seemed that the whole train emptied and formed a queue at the booking office which did a fair (fare) trade for several minutes - we were at least five minutes late getting away! Probably the best trade the station had done for some years! KJ
