This was the second station in Wilton, the Great Western Railway (GWR) having opened one on their adjacent route in 1856.

In the meantime, at the South station goods traffic ceased on 6 July 1964 and then passenger services were also withdrawn on 7 March 1966.

The stop was not advertised in the timetables and passengers could not join or alight from trains at Wilton.

Alterations saw control of the area transferred to Salisbury signal box and later to Basingstoke ASC.

Now redundant, the box was taken down and rebuilt at Medstead and Four Marks on the Mid Hants Railway.
