Taken 16/10/11: The station was opened by the Wilts, Somerset and Weymouth Railway on 5 September 1854. with the Salisbury branch opening on 30 June 1856. In 1901, Westbury railway station was entirely rebuilt, creating two island" platforms six hundred feet long and forty feet wide and I assume this building dates from that point.
Taken 17/10/20; Warminster Station is on the FGWR Wessex Main Line that connects Cardiff and Bristol with Southampton and Portsmouth. It also see a limited SWR service between London waterloo and Bristol.
Wikipedia describes the station as follows:
"The station was opened by the Great Western Railway on 9 September 1851, as the terminus of its branch from Westbury on its Wilts, Somerset and Weymouth route. The branch was extended to Salisbury on 30 June 1856. The station was originally provided with a train shed covering the tracks and platforms, but this was removed around 1930 when the current canopies were erected in its place. The original wooden buildings were retained and are still in use today."

Taken 07/07/24; From Wikipedia:
"Since 9 December 2007, a new service has served Mottisfont & Dunbridge. It runs from Salisbury to Southampton Central, via Romsey. South Western Railway operates the service using two-car Class 158 units. In consequence, Mottisfont & Dunbridge now has a roughly hourly service, a great improvement over the previous frequency. As a result of this, Great Western Railway no longer serves the station, although it continued to manage the station, and the station still carried First Great Western branding. In April 2020, the management of the station was transferred to South Western Railway."
