It was open from 1862 until 1966. HistoryThe Berks and Hants Extension Railway, which ran from {{stnlnk|Hungerford}} to {{stnlnk|Devizes}}, opened on 11 November 1862, and the station named Savernake was opened with the line.[1][2] It was situated between {{stnlnk|Bedwyn}} and {{stnlnk|Pewsey}} stations,[3] about {{convert|0.6|mi|km|0}} northeast of the village of Burbage where the line passed under the road to Durley.[4] The site is directly above the Bruce Tunnel which carries the Kennet and Avon Canal. There was a goods station at Burbage Wharf, about three-quarters of a mile to the west, providing an interchange between the railway, the canal and the road to Marlborough. This was closed in 1947.[5] On 15 April 1864, the Marlborough Railway opened its short branch line to {{stnlink|Marlborough}}, which was operated by the Great Western and then taken over by it, and Savernake became a junction.[6] When the Reading to Taunton line was created and the Stert to Westbury cut-off opened in 1900, the platforms at Savernake were lengthened, the footbridge roofed and brick waiting rooms provided on the down platform. Until 1916, Savernake then had six trains a day, plus up to six slip coaches from Paddington, the fastest covering the {{convert|70|mi|abbr=on}} to Savernake in 75 minutes. In the 1950s Savernake had ten trains a day on the main line, seven to Marlborough and two other Midland and South Western Junction Railway trains.[7] On 1 July 1924, the station was renamed Savernake Low Level; the nearby station on the former Midland and South Western Junction Railway line becoming {{stnlnk|Savernake High Level}} at the same time.[2] The station was renamed Savernake for Marlborough on 11 September 1961 when the High Level station officially closed,[2] although through trains on the former M&SWJR had used Savernake Low Level for some time because of a landslip on the original line. The station closed on 18 April 1966[2] but the first-built line remains in use, providing a route from Reading and Hungerford to {{stnlink|Westbury}} and beyond.
