Lacock Halt was a minor railway station on the Chippenham–Trowbridge section of the former Wilts, Somerset and Weymouth Railway (WSWR), which opened as far as Westbury on 2 September 1848. This connected to the Great Western Main Line at Thingley Junction (southwest of Chippenham) and was incorporated into the Great Western Railway in March 1850 after the WSWR ran into financial difficulties.[2]
