I imagine this has been asked a million times before but ... I was
down in Weymouth recently and saw the rather overgrown track leading
out from the station down to the quay so I was just wondering when it
was last used? Is it all still intact and just "mothballed" or has
part of it already been lifted?

B2003

I was on holiday there a few weeks ago and walked the entire length. It is all still intact apart from building work going on at the far end of the Quay Station and a moveable set of steps obstructing the line to give access to the platform. The road was being dug up near Debenhams for gas main work but they were carefully going around the rails.

I heard that the last train was 1999 but not sure if that is correct.
