M&SWJR (5) - 20 August 2021

To explore disused railways is fascinating; to discover them unexpectedly a delight. In Swindon, I found remains of the former Midland & South Western Junction Railway. Following guidance from some helpful locals I made my way to Station Approach and Old Station House. From there I was redirected to the trackbed below which is partially obscured by the present day Central Trading Estate. The route from the erstwhile Swindon Town station towards the main line is designate as the Old Town Rail Path and this is where it is crossed by Devizes Road in a view towards Swindon.
