Bruton railway station serves a largely rural area in the county of Somerset in England.

[1] The station was opened by the Great Western Railway on 1 September 1856 on its Wilts, Somerset and Weymouth main line.

[2] The goods yard, which was on the north side of the line opposite the signal box, was closed on 5 April 1965 and the station was downgraded to an unstaffed halt from 6 October 1969 under the Western Region of British Railways.

[12] Great Western Railway operates eight trains each way on the Bristol to Weymouth line during the week and five on Sundays.

[13] Additionally, there are services provided by South Western Railway that operate between Yeovil Junction and London Waterloo, although these are relatively slow due to taking an indirect route towards London, reversing at Westbury and travelling via Salisbury and the West of England Main Line.
