Marlborough Branch?

As information for those not in the know or local to Wiltshire. Dyson are building a new R & D facility on Hullavington airfield. Hence Dyson Parkway

Hullavington suggestion was not such a joke ... hope it didn't come across as such. Not one of the top 5, but probably in the top 10 possibles.

With regards to Hullavington/Malmesbury, you’ve got the issue of there not really being any suitable trains passing through the location which could feasibly stop. You’d need some fast EMUs^▸ (Electric Multiple Unit) to keep out of the way of the 4tph that will be using that stretch non stop pretty soon.

Apologies for not keeping in the topic of Marlborough, that area isn’t my strong point.

Agreed that Hullavington would be a "type 2" new provision ...

1. Existing passenger line and train
2. Existing passenger line ; new or changed train
3. Existing freight line
4. Re-opening mothballed line
5. Re-opening ripped up line
6. Rebuilding line that has been lost into countryside / built over
7. New line

Don't worry too much about going off topic; conversations drift and if it drifts far enough the topic can be split off.

There are two passing loops, one in each direction, immediately to the west of the A429 at Hullavington. I don't know whether they would be long enough for a local passenger train to use while a faster train overtakes?

From the Gazette and Herald - "When Marlborough had not one but two railway stations and two railway lines".  An interesting picture from one station to the other, both long gone.
