Looking towards Wootton Bassett junction from Skew Bridge, Royal Wootton Bassett
This in the line from Bristol via Bath and Chippenham. Several hundred metres ahead, just about visible, the line from South Wales via Bristol Parkway joins from the left at Wootton Bassett Junction.
I do not know whether or not the grant of royal patronage in 2011 which changed the name of Wootton Bassett to Royal Wootton Bassett has been applied to the name of this junction.

HST125 passing the site of Wootton Bassett station (1)
The train could be going either to Bristol or South Wales. The lines to those destinations diverge about 500 metres further on. It is travelling quite slowly as it seems it had been halted for a while. It is on the 'down' line i.e. leading away from London. Any such line is so designated regardless of compass bearing. The train can also be seen here
