Codford railway station was an intermediate station[2] on the Salisbury branch line of the Great Western Railway built along the Wylye valley to connect Warminster and Salisbury to serve the surrounding villages, and situated along the lane from Codford St Peter to Boyton.

The original single platform was built on the north side of the line next to a level crossing.

A passing loop was installed here in 1897 which necessitated the construction of a second platform to serve trains towards Westbury.

[5] The branch was taken over at the end of the First World War by the Great Western Railway but closed in 1922.

The station lost its passenger service on 19 September 1955 and its goods yard was closed on 10 June 1963.
