The Fovant Military Railway was a short-lived line laid in the First World War that ran from Dinton Station on the Salisbury-Exeter to Fovant Camp. After the Armistice it still saw a great deal of use for a time conveying troops to the Camp, which had become a demobilisation centre. From 1921 to 1924 it was re-opened to help with the demolition of the camp. The track was lifted in 1926, though a small part of the trackbed close to Dinton Station was used again in 1936 to serve RAF storage bunkers in former quarries. Peter Harding has sourced a number of photographs of the line and its surroundings. The booklet also includes track plans
