Closure
The Devizes Branch line and all of its stations closed in 1966 under British Rail's modernisation plans. The closure of the line can be accounted for by the awkward geography of the Devizes line and the falling amount of traffic since the rival railway line opened and the increasing popularity of modern transport.
Apart from a few remaining bridges and tunnels there is little evidence of the railway on the landscape, and after the closure of the line, all stations and halts were destroyed in 1970.
