This route fell victim to the Beeching Axe in September 1964, three years after passenger trains had been withdrawn from the M&SWJR line.

When sectorisation was introduced in the 1980s, the station was served by Network SouthEast until the privatisation of British Rail.

The Swindon Marlborough and Andover Railway (SM&AR) also built a depot next to the station in 1882.

The SM&AR shed was closed by the Western Region of British Railways in 1958 and was demolished soon afterwards.

The entrances are on the south side of the station, which consists of a ticket office, a heated waiting room, three self-service ticket machines, a small counter selling hot drinks outside the station, a bike locker, and a small shop.

Cooperative has proposed operating a light rail service from Andover using the branch line to Ludgershall.
