3 Broadway station, that opened with the Abbotsbury branch in 1885. It became Broadwey in 1896 and Broadwey (Dorset) in 1906 before becoming Upwey in 1913.

The first Upwey station (closed 1886) was on the main line to Weymouth north of the current Upwey station (originally called Upwey Junction) which opened in 1886

http://www.disused-stations.org.uk/u/upwey/

2 was the site of Wishing Well Halt, about 1.4km from the Wishing Well itself.
