Calne railway station

Calne railway station was opened on 3 November 1863 by the Great Western Railway. It was situated just a short walk from Calne town centre and had only one platform. The station, when it first opened, had its own engine shed. In its early years the seven sidings were usually full due to the amount of traffic coming in from Chippenham railway station. Calne was the terminus of the five mile line from Chippenham. The station at Calne was always for public use all the way from beginning to end. Calne station closed in 1965 and the buildings were left to be vandalised but were eventually taken down. A few years later the area was built on to become Station Road Industrial Estate.
