Grimstone and Frampton railway station was a station on the Wiltshire, Somerset & Weymouth Railway, part of the Great Western Railway between Maiden Newton and Dorchester. It was in the hamlet of Grimstone, in the parish of Stratton but relatively close to the parish of Frampton which it was intended to serve, it is directly south of Grimstone Viaduct. When the line opened on 20 January 1857 it was called Frampton Station but in July 1857 it changed name to Grimstone Station and in July 1858 it was renamed again to its final name of Grimstone and Frampton Station; the station became unstaffed from 11 April 1966 and closed on 3 October 1966. Refer to Mike Oakley's booklet for more details. A fatal accident occurred on Saturday 16 May 1914 when a watercress seller named Carter was killed at the station. If had been customary for him to gather watercress, grown on the Sydling Water and return to Dorchester to sell it, he arrived at 4:40 and was to return on the 5:12 train. He crossed to the up platform via the footbridge.

As the 4:38 express from Weymouth passed through at 4:57 he walked onto the line and was killed despite the express sounding warning whistles as it approached the station. An inquest was held on the Monday at which it emerged that he had not gathered any watercress and despite what he had said he had not forwarded any to Dorchester; the jury recorded a verdict. He was always referred to as no one knew his Christian name; however a postcard was found. His age was unknown but estimated to be about 50 and he was thought to have a sister in Ealing, he had lodged at a public house in Dorchester for some years. He was buried at Stratton Church on Tuesday 19 May 1914; the station master was Thomas Charles Olding, the engine driver was Albert Clifton Webb. The express resumed its journey after an 11-minute delay; the station was demolished after closure and the site is now a depot for Minster Fuels. Butt, R. V. J..
