Black Dog Halt railway station
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Black Dog Halt was opened 1863-11-03 by the Great Western Railway for Lord Lansdowne of Bowood House. Lord Lansdowne had a special compartment in one of the Calne line's autocoaches. Eventually, Lord Lansdowne was persuaded to allow the halt to be used by the public. After the British Rail take over the halt was turned into a request stop.
In 1965 the halt was closed and, soon afterwards, the buildings were demolished. Today the site of the halt is being used as part of the national cycle route.
