Oooh, now who else reckons that the original footbridge might encounter an "accident" during works that clears the way to electrification through the station?

If they cracked on that would give them a chance to make some proper mischief in Bath with those for and against wires.

only just found out about this event.

Hi everyone, please find attached our most recent newsletter to update you about FoCS and Chippenham station.
Tomorrow, June 24th, the local museum in Chippenham are having a Westinghouse day for those who may find this interesting. Also the Westinghouse model railway club will have a display open to the public  in the Yelde Hall from 10.30 to 3.30.

Friends of Chippenham Station are still needing new members so please consider joining us so we can undertake new projects. We now have a store room at the station but it needs to be cleaned and painted. It is at the end of the disused platform just past the toilets and we believe it may have been the lamp room. If anyone has any knowledge of this we would be pleased to learn more about it.

Kind regards

Gail Delahaye.
