Closed with the rest of the S&D's Bath to Bournemouth line in March 1966, Midford station consisted of a single platform at one end of Midford viaduct. All that remains now is the platform, on which are visible the foundations of the station buildings, including the tiled floor of the gents lavatories! There is a plan to restore the station buildings and ultimately relay the track as part of a grand plan to reopen the whole S&D, promoted by a group called The New Somerset & Dorset Railway. It seems like a tall order to me, but there we go. Anyway, this is how the station site looked in November 2016.
