When the Malmesbury branch line was opened in 1877, it left the Great Western Main Line at Dauntsey and had one intermediate station just north of Great Somerford.

In 1903 the Great Western Railway opened the South Wales Main Line which provided a more direct route to South Wales, passing close to the south of Little Somerford village and to the north of the earlier line.

Thus from 17 July 1933 Little Somerford became a junction, until the branch was closed (to passengers in September 1951 and completely in November 1962).

Main line passenger service at the station was withdrawn in April 1961 and goods traffic in June 1963.
