Footbridge, Paddington to the West railway, Stratton, Swindon (2)
These are the steps down from the footbridge on the Gipsy Lane side. The bridge is to be taken down at some point in the near future as part of the electrification project underway on the railway. It's too low to allow the overhead power lines to pass beneath. The gutter at the side is to make it easier to transport push-bikes over the bridge.

New footbridge, Paddington to the West railway, Stratton, Swindon (1)
The footbridge is being built as a replacement for the existing footbridge http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/4172155 which has to go as it is too low for the overhead electrical cables that will later be installed as part of the upgrading of the Paddington to the West railway. In the background is the BMW MINI body plant, which was one of the few parts of the Rover Group deemed worth keeping by the Germans after they gave up trying to make money out of it in 2000.
