After the regular boat trains were ended, the station was still occasionally used for special services, the last being a Pathfinder Tours charter on 2 May 1999.

However, with the purchase of its new ferry in 2015, Condor ceased to serve the port of Weymouth.

The line was designated "Out of Use (temporary)" for a period of two years by Network Rail on 15 January 2007,[4] and again on 1 April 2009.

[6] In July 2014, it was reported that the sale of the line did not proceed and a campaign started to reopen the tram route claiming it would help with tourism and reduce car usage in the town.

[8] In 2020 the local authority gained funding to pull up the line[9] and the track was removed in 2020/21.
