Calne Railway Station - the last day
The Calne branch line has been transporting residents of Calne the 5 miles to Chippenham since November 1863 but it is all about to end. It's late afternoon & one of the very last trains has arrived. Closure of 2 nearby RAF bases had meant a significant drop in passenger traffic. Goods facilities had been withdrawn 2 years previously as indicated by the complete absence of sidings in the goods yard. In previous years the Harris Bacon Factory had provided much business, both inwards & outwards. The station building has since long been demolished; initially an industrial estate was built on the site but even that has gone - being replaced by housing development in 2014.

Probable site of Calne station, 1989
View westward, towards Chippenham. In 1989 nothing could be found of the terminus of the formerly quite important ex-GWR branch from Chippenham, closed since 20/9/65.

A walk around Calne [56]
The River Marden, seen from the footpath.
From the town centre the route leads through mostly modern housing before meeting open countryside after crossing the recently built A3102. After passing Calne Sewage Works and crossing both the abandoned Wilts and Berks canal and the River Marden the route joins the dismantled Calne Branch railway which is followed back to the town centre where it crosses the canal again. About 3½ miles.
