Masts have been erected here in connection with the electrification of the railway mainline from London Paddington to Bristol. The masts will carry the overhead power lines and will allow the use of high speed electric trains. The section from Chippenham to Bath & Bristol seems to be on hold at present but the situation may alter as Governments and policies change over time. There are four rail tracks here.
