History

edit

The station was opened by the Marlborough and Grafton Railway (M&GR) on 26 June 1898, and was originally named Savernake.[1] The M&GR later became part of the Midland and South Western Junction Railway (MSWJR), and following the absorption of the MSWJR by the Great Western Railway (GWR), the station was renamed Savernake High Level on 1 July 1924.[1]

It closed on 15 September 1958.[1]
