A look at the lost
A look at the lost railway line between Swindon Town & Marlborough! (Midland and South Western Junction Railway)
Swindon Town station was heavily used in early years, but increasingly suffered from the concentration of traffic at the main GWR station as the focus of the town shifted away from the Old Town area to the newer parts that developed around the GWR station and the railway works there. Passenger and goods traffic on the M&SWJR fell very steeply after the Second World War and the line closed to passengers in 1961. Goods facilities were withdrawn in 1966, although freight trains conveying materials for the construction of the M4 motorway continued until 1972 when the track was abandoned. The track was lifted around 1978
I will continue this journey in a future video! Meanwhile feel free to subscribe and check out other lost lines!
