Swindon: Redposts Drive Link Road bridge
The plans for the creation of Swindon's Southern Development Area include the extension of the existing Redposts Drive road southwards into the area. However the embankment of the former Midland and South Western Junction Railway (M&SWJR) line, which is now a footpath and part of National Cycle Route 45, has had to be breached and the new bridge for pedestrians and cyclists is seen here under construction.

Site of Rushey Platt Junction, Swindon
The former Midland & South Western Junction Railway descended from Swindon Town station (Old Town station), behind. The main MSWJ route went straight ahead (on the left), soon crossing the Great Western main line, then continuing towards Cirencester and Cheltenham. The route on the right curved around, descending further, to join the Great Western line into Swindon Junction station (which is the current Swindon station).
This path on the left is now part of National Cycle Network Route 45.

Swindon: Former Rushey Platt railway station
Rushey Platt station was on the former Midland and South Western Junction Railway (M&SWJR) between Swindon Town and Cirencester stations, and was opened in 1883. A short link line to the GWR main line also ran from the station and there was a low level platform on the link line and a high level platform on the main line. I think that the platform remains visible in this photograph are from the main line. There is a truly excellent website, with copious photographs, detailing the history of the M&SWJR here http://www.swindonsotherrailway.co.uk/leftnav.html and a specific photo showing the arrangements of Rushey Platt station, probably in the 1930s from the same website here http://www.swindonsotherrailway.co.uk/mike90.html
