Litchfield railway station served the small hamlet of the same name. The station received relatively little traffic (only 20 passengers a week during the 1920s). The station was originally built with two platforms and a passing loop in the same style as other stations on the route. However, low traffic resulted in the removal of the loop in 1936, only for a longer loop and the platform to be reinstated in 1943 to deal with wartime traffic. This was then removed again in 1955, only five years before the station's closure. There was a small siding and headshunt on the northbound line but goods traffic at the station was light.

Today the station site is covered by the A34 road

A34 road

The A34 is a major road in England. It runs from the A6042 in Salford to Winchester in Hampshire. It forms a large part of the major trunk route from Southampton, via Oxford, to Birmingham, The Potteries and Manchester...

, which also makes use of the station's approach cuttings. The A34 was upgraded in the 1970s and makes use of the DN&SR trackbed at several places.
