In 1905, to cater for traffic for army camps on Salisbury Plain, the line west of Bedwyn was linked (via the Grafton Curve and a bridge over the Kennet and Avon Canal) to Grafton and Burbage on the north-south Swindon, Marlborough and Andover Railway.

The station has basic facilities including a bus-type shelter on both sides and information screens.

The station is served by local services operated by Great Western Railway between here and Newbury.

[4] A crossover and siding at the west of the station allow services to reverse and lay over before returning east.

The station is also served by a limited number of services that continue west of here, reaching Westbury, Taunton, Exeter St Davids and beyond.
