Opened in 1883 by the Great Western Railway on the branch line from Swindon to Highworth, this station closed to passengers in 1953 and completely in 1962. View south west towards Swindon from what had been the Ermin Street bridge over the railway, the line and single platform having been just to the left of the blue sign. No trace of the station remains, the station site and bridge having been levelled.
