View southwards to the terminus and the Abbey beyond. This was the terminus of a Great Western branch from Little Somerford (formerly from Dauntsey) on the main lines west of Swindon. Passenger traffic had ceased on 10/9/51, but goods traffic was evidently still flourishing and continued until 12/11/62. The building at the left at the end of the fence is what was the station's engine shed and is still in use as a fast-fit tyre depot.
