I reckon it's a train approaching Melksham Station, from Chippenham.  Wink

Not fair! I demand a recount! Chris didn't actually say where the next station is that this train is calling at.

Where is the next station for this train to call at;

It's a chance in a blooming million that any train approaching Melksham station would actually stop there, particularly as this photo was taken during daylight hours, which is why I stated that I believed that this train, which is patently approaching Melksham station and heading in a southerly direction, would next call at Westbury.

I think Chris's entry should be discounted  Grin

Indeed, Phil - I was very careful to say that I reckoned it was a train approaching Melksham Station - accepting that it was rather unlikely that it would actually stop there!  Wink Cheesy Grin

So you're returning the gold star you were awarded under false pretences then?

No, technically he was right. My allotment is just to the right of this photo, and it has leeks growing on it. Therefore, the train is actually passing leeks Smiley

I think you should be working on your allotment not mucking around on the internet - it looks a bit overgrown !  Grin

Passing on its way between Leeks and Leekes ... next stop Melksham, final destination (unless it's a very old picture!) Westbury.   So it must be taken on a Saturday or Sunday, as both southbound trains on Monday to Friday (passing here at 06:38 and 19:09) continue on to Southampton, where 143s ain't allowed.
