Wyke Regis Halt was a small railway station on the Portland Branch Railway in the west of the English county of Dorset.
The line through the station site was opened on 16 October 1865 when the Weymouth and Portland Railway opened the mixed gauge line between the towns in its name, the line was leased jointly to the Great Western Railway and the London and South Western Railway.[1]
Opened in July 1909, it was part of a scheme that saw several halts opened on the GWR with services provided by Railmotors to counter road competition.[2][1]
The halt was reached by a footpath from Ferrybridge cottages, off Portland Road.[3]
The station closed with the branch in 1952.[2][4]
