The rusting buffers at the end of a siding on the disused Great Western Railways (GWR) Swindon-Highworth branch line are in contrast with the modern lorry which has taken the place of rail for the transport of body parts from the BMW Mini body manufacturing plant (on the right) to the assembly works in Oxford.
