Gates blocking disused GWR Highworth branch line
Double gates block off the disused Great Western Railways (GWR) Highworth branch line where it crosses the cyclepath connecting Gipsy Lane to Green Road. Past this point, the line used to continue to Highworth, while a spur branched off into the Pressed Steel plant (now BMW Mini), where car body parts were loaded prior to being transported to Oxford for assembly.

Level crossing, cyclepath beside BMW Mini factory
The cyclepath runs between the BMW Mini factory and the disused Great Western Railways Swindon-Highworth branch line. It crosses the rails here where a line enters the factory. Although the siding is no longer used, and car body parts are now transported by road, the sign, whose design is curiously old-fashioned but is still in current use, still remains.
