Hannington railway station is a former railway station near Hannington, in Wiltshire, England on the Highworth Branch Line from Swindon.
The station was about a mile southeast of Hannington village, near the Blunsdon to Highworth road;[1] the platform had a small wooden building and there was a small goods yard. Much of the traffic was agricultural, milk in particular.[2]
The line operated a passenger service from 9 May 1883 until 2 March 1953, and the branch closed to all traffic in 1962.[2]
Although the majority of the station has disappeared the front of the platform is still visible.
