Regarding Dorchester, which had the two goods facilities on opposite sides of Weymouth Avenue, not quite facing one another, it was dependent on where it originated. Bear in mind that until 1960 there were London passenger trains from both, as the WR Weymouth boat trains started from Paddington and stopped there. The principal freight was incoming coal of course, followed by other manufactures from further north. If they originated anywhere on the (ex) LNER, they came via Banbury, Swindon and Westbury to the WR West station, keeping it off the LMR. If originated on the LMR then via Bath, the S&D to Templecombe, Salisbury and Poole, to the Southern, likewise ensuring no revenue to the WR.
