Corsham
Guy Vincent

Following on from yesterdays posting (Box tunnel) here are some more recent images showing the former station site at Corsham, the early 20th century footbridge deck that was replaced in March 2014 and the area once occupied by a goods yard and signal box etc. For well over thirty years residents and local campaigners have been trying to get a station re-established here but so far to no avail. In 2014 the area above the former yard was filled with new houses so more difficulties now need to be overcome as there is little, if any, space close by to provide sufficient car parking facilities. Access will always be a problem as the line falls through a long, deep cutting for over two miles prior to entering the eastern portal of the 1.83 mile long Box tunnel.

G Vincent Many thanks Guy for this article and pictures
