Thanks for letting me know. I wasn't aware that I had to give a citation. However, in the 'Beeching Report' (The Re-shaping of British Railways), in Part 2, the map shows that all stations on this line, south of (and including) Yeovil Pen Mill, were put in the Southern Region. I haven't seen any information to the contrary. Do you know anything that leads you to believe that my edit is incorrect? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.18.11.32 (talk) 20:51, 12 July 2019 (UTC)

I suggest that you consult a book on the early history of British Railways, such as

• Bonavia, Michael R. (1981). British Rail: The First 25 Years. Newton Abbot: David & Charles. ISBN 0-7153-8002-8. LCCN 80041448.

Between Nationalisation (1 January 1948) and the Beeching Report (published on 27 March 1963, prepared over the preceding year or so), the regional boundaries were redrawn at least three times. The original boundaries (with very few exceptions, such as the Ealing & Shepherd's Bush line) placed the whole of the former GWR into the Western Region, and that included the line between Yeovil and Weymouth. The original plan and most subsequent alterations are described in The Railway Magazine, see for example the issues for January-February 1948; March-April 1948; March 1950; and April 1958. These show that the line between Castle Cary Junction and Weymouth (including its branches) was originally assigned to the Western Region and was transferred from the Western to the Southern Region on 2 April 1950, more than two years after Nationalisation. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 22:50, 12 July 2019 (UTC)
