Disabled access is poor. If you can’t manage the stairs to cross to the Weymouth platform, it’s a walk up Weymouth avenue up hill down a side road and the a slope down another road leading to the platform. In other words, a taxi ride for someone with mobility issues. There has been talk for years of getting lifts, but that’s all it’s been. Also note that it seems on weekends that the trains to Weymouth tend to depart from what is normally the London platform the side with the station building. But do check the live train departures on the website which will show the platforms for each train. Do note that on the London side again, there is relatively flat or less sloped access to the platform through the car park, just in case the steps and gradient by the station building are too much for you, but there isn’t a ticket machine placed here, so you would need to purchase online or get someone else to get your ticket at the station. All in all - could do a lot better.
I live local to dorchester south and get the train regularly. But my big issue is that dorchester south station does not make it easy to get my baby to the other side there is a massive bridge to cross an no other way to get to the other side I see people struggling all the time and I always help but this is not right as there should be a level crossing or something in place, I wish this was sorted as me and my fiance find this very hard
Very dangerous railway station, massive gaps in places between the platform and the train, spotted a man with a walking stick further up struggling to get across, no staff on site to provide assistance, ticket office closed and it's only 3pm. An accident waiting to happen. The other station in Dorchester which we arrived at was so much better.
Only one seat on each of the 2 platforms. Ticket office was shut early Saturday afternoon. Train not on time, not much cover if it rains, station surrounded by flats, looks a right eyesore. No toilets on platforms. Big gap between train and platform as track is on a bend, very easy to fall in to the gap so poor health and safety
i have a disability and find it very hard to have to cross over to the other side. To go to town as the steps are really hard for me to climb,i wish this could get sorted .
