There are rumours elsewhere (well, on the
WNXX▸ Forum actually) that the former mail platform site at Swindon station (where the former Swindon Panel box stands) is going to be converted into an additional passenger platform. In addition a number of 387 units are going to be stabled overnight at Swindon and they are going to be used on 'crowd buster' services in the morning and evening peaks, both to London and Cardiff. 19
GWR▸ drivers positions are going to be created, with a new sub-depot to Reading being located at Swindon station.
Not sure yet if this is all fact or fiction.....
