Dilton Marsh?

Because it is indeed Dilton Marsh
Your turn to head up the hill to buy your ticket from Mrs Roberts

There isn't a porter. The platform is made of sleepers.
The guard of the last train puts out the light
And high over lorries and cattle the Halt unwinking
Waits through the Wiltshire night.
(from 'Dilton Marsh Halt' by Sir John Betjeman)

O housewife safe in the comprehensive churning
Of the Warminster launderette!
O husband down at the depot with car in car-park!
The Halt is waiting yet.

Cheers!
