Dunster railway station is on the West Somerset Heritage Railway, though the station is over a mile from the village.
The station was opened on 16 July 1874 by the Minehead Railway.
The line was operated by the Bristol and Exeter Railway which was amalgamated into the Great Western Railway (GWR) in 1876.
The Minehead Railway was itself absorbed into the GWR in 1897.
A small signal box stood at the Watchet end of the platform, but was demolished in 1926 when this was extended.
In 1934 a new signal box at the opposite end of the station, brought second-hand from Maerdy, was put into use when the line from Dunster to Minehead was doubled in 1934.
The GWR was nationalised into British Railways in 1948 and from 1964, when goods traffic was withdrawn on 6 July, the line was run down until it was eventually closed on 4 January 1971.
The line was reopened as a heritage railway operated by the West Somerset Railway on 28 March 1976.
The signal box was moved to Minehead in 1977 but the goods yard is now home to the railway’s civil engineering team.
It is a Grade II listed building.

Road access is via the A39 and A396.
The nearest international airports would be those at Exeter or Bristol.
