Limpley Stoke railway station is a former railway station in Limpley Stoke, Wiltshire, England, UK. The station was originally started by the Wilts, Somerset and Weymouth Railway, which was bought by the Great Western Railway before service started. The station served as a loading point for limestone from nearby quarries until 1960.[1] Two camping coaches were positioned here by the Western Region from 1956 to 1957.[2] The station closed in 1966, and the building is now in private hands. The line remains open, and has regular passenger service.
