Swindon railway station was opened in 1842 by the Great Western Railway. Until 1961, when Swindon Town station closed, the station was known as Swindon Junction. The old station was demolished in 1972, and the modern station and office block was erected on the site. This view looks up the line with a First Great Western 125 about to leave for Paddington.
