Our latest exhibition aims to give a history of how, why and where railway lines arrived on Salisbury Plain - focusing on Amesbury.
Opened to passengers on 2 June 1902 by the Amesbury and Military Camp Light Railway, and becoming part of the London and South Western Railway, Amesbury station was absorbed by the Southern Railway during the Grouping of 1923.
The railway passed on to the Southern Region of British Railways on nationalisation in 1948. Passenger services were withdrawn in 1952 but goods trains and occasional military special trains used the station until 1963.
