Templecombe is a small station on the "West of England" line between Salisbury and Yeovil Junction. Once a complex junction with a now-closed north-south line to Poole, the station was closed in 1966, and reopened in 1983.

The second-oldest feature of Templecombe station is the signalbox on the platform, shared as at Feniton with the ticket office:
