Will we see any more new ones of these, in Wiltshire or elsewhere? Probably somewhere in the vicinity of Warminster station?

I can see the look ... but, no, it isn't

Yes, it is. 

Very few Northern trains have called there - just the three-times-a-week service via Gainsborough that I had just got off, and is pictured here.  A 153 on this occasion (apparently it's more often a pacer) and utterly jam packed.
