We visited Castle Cary on a warm May day. The station is a mile or so from the town, so although the station is on the Great Western main line it has the feeling of being very much in the middle of nowhere.

The approach to the station and its car park:

The station building's rear is on platform 1, seen here from the footbridge:

Towards the eastern end of the station a modern footbridge links platform 1 to the island platforms and to the other side of the station, where a footpath leads to the town of Castle Cary itself:
