context_page_description: Marlborough railway stations refers to the two railway stations which served Marlborough, Wiltshire, England; the town supported two railway routes and Savernake, the junction station at first, later had a second station.
  A branch line was built by an independent railway friendly to the Great Western Railway from Savernake to Marlborough in 1864. A north-south railway, later to be part of a long distance trunk route, opened from Swindon to its own station at Marlborough in 1881, extending south to Andover in 1881, running over the branch line at first. Later the company built its own duplicate line to by-pass the GWR line.
  The two routes came under the same management at the "Grouping" of the railways in 1923 and some rationalisation took place. Passenger services to Marlborough were withdrawn in 1961 and goods services in 1964.
