caption_attribution_description: English: The level crossing barriers being lowered at Sherborne level crossing Dorset, England. The signal box is no longer used, instead the controls for the barriers are in the shelter on the left.
context_page_description: Sherborne railway station serves the town of Sherborne in Dorset, England. It is situated on the West of England Main Line, 118 miles 4 chains down the line from London Waterloo. Opened in 1860, it is currently operated by South Western Railway.
context_section_description: The entrance and offices are on the northern platform which is served by trains going towards London. A large canopy covers much of the other platform. This is normally reached by crossing a footbridge, but people who find this difficult to use can cross the track under the supervision of the signaller who operates the level crossing. The old signal box still stands on the other side of this, and at the other end of the station can be seen the old goods shed.
  The station buffet appeared in a list of "highly commended" station cafes published in The Guardian in 2009.
