Ludgershall: Former Midland & South Western Junction Railway station
The Swindon, Marlborough and Andover Railway opened their line between Grafton and Andover, including the station here at Ludgershall, in 1882. Two years later the railway was absorbed into a new company called the Midland & South Western Junction Railway which ran trains from Andover to Cheltenham via Swindon.
The station, which was quite extensive in area, closed for passenger traffic in 1961 along with the rest of the line, and the station buildings were subsequently demolished. However the tracks remain in place for the Army to transfer military goods to and from their depot in Ludgershall, giving access to Salisbury Plain. Here the station platforms are still in situ although very overgrown.
The timetable for 1953 showed 4 northbound trains a day to Swindon, 3 of which went on to Cheltenham, and 5 southbound trains a day to Andover.
