[2] Between 1916 and 1952 the Porton Military Railway (2 foot gauge) ran between the goods yard at Porton station and the military camp, almost a mile to the northeast.
[2] A proposal was made to reopen the station to service the Porton Down science park.
However, reopening the station was not seen as economically viable, as it was estimated that the reopening would cost £6m, and would affect the timetables for the line, thus affecting services to the other stations on the line.
It was instead decided that a shuttle bus would run in between the science park and Grateley railway station.
