43079 Corsham 19 June 2017

Corsham station closed in 1965, and the platforms and buildings were demolished shortly afterwards. The goods shed remains however, and is seen here with its decrepit and overgrown addition, on 19 June 2017. New houses now dominate the background of this view, and it is the continued growth of the town of Corsham that has resulted in persistent calls for the reopening of the station. 43079 passes by with the 1A11 09:30 Bristol Temple Meads to Paddington GWR service.
