Calne railway station

Calne railway station was opened on 3 November 1863 by the Great Western Railway as a terminus for the branch line from the Great Western mainline (with a junction at Chippenham). It was situated a short distance from Calne town centre and was equipped with only one platform. The station, when first opened, had its own engine shed. In the early years of the station's history, the seven sidings were usually full due to the amount of traffic coming in from the nearby Chippenham railway station.
