Bus at the Terminus
Swindon Buses' route 11 finishes here at Wychelstowe, as indeed so does the road for the time being.
This is a brand new suburb with large areas still to be developed. No doubt the bus route will get longer bit by bit as the builders move on.

New roundabout on Peglars Way, Wichelstowe
Not yet visible on Google, Wichelstowe is gradually being built on a decade plus schedule, the building on the right is the new Waitrose while construction hasn't yet begun on the right. The position is approximate until the maps catch up.

Construction- and road-works, Peglars Way, Swindon
Several things are happening at once in this location. Changes to the road layout to the left are taking place. Work on the Wilts and Berks canal is ongoing as is work on the large building in the background. The purple coloration is cladding.

An Amazing Transformation
This is part of the brand new neighbourhood of Wichelstow on the (at the moment) southern edge of Swindon.
The old Wilts and Berks Canal, derelict for over 100 years, has been dug out, widened and turned into a large basin lined with new apartments, shops and a new waterside pub.
Unfortunately it is a long way from any other navigable waterway, so the effect is largely landscaping for the time being, although there is a trip boat moored up. It only has about 2 kms of restored canal to cruise along.
