Codford railway station
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Codford railway station was an intermediate station[1] on the Wilts, Somerset and Weymouth Railway built along the Wylye valley to connect Warminster and Salisbury to serve the surrounding villages, and situated along the lane from Codford St Peter to Boyton[2]. When an army camp was built at Codford in 1914 [3] a branch line was built connecting it to the station[4]. The branch was taken over at the end of the First World War by the Great Western Railway but closed in 1922.
By the 1950s fewer and fewer travellers used the station, and it closed for passengers in 1955 and for goods in 1963. Trains still run between Warminster and Salisbury, but no longer stop at anywhere in between[5].
