An up First Great Western Inter City 125 hurtles past the site of the former Patney & Chirton Junction station. The station was built to cater for passengers wishing to change to the line to Devizes, Bath and Bristol. That line and this station were victims of the Beeching cuts in the early 1960s. In the distance is Patney Bridge.
