Woodborough Sidings

This is the site of the now dismantled Woodborough station built by the former Great Western Railway on their main line between London and the South West. The station opened in 1862 and closed in 1966, a victim of the Beeching cuts, which also saw the line to Devizes closed. Although Inter City 125s thunder through here now the sidings are still in use.
