Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Swindon: Former Rushey Platt railway station Rushey Platt station was on the former Midland and South Western Junction Railway (M&SWJR) between Swindon Town and Cirencester stations, and was opened in 1883. A short link line to the GWR main line also ran from the station and there was a low level platform on the link line and a high level platform on the main line. I think that the platform remains visible in this photograph are from the main line. There is a truly excellent website, with copious photographs, detailing the history of the M&SWJR here http://www.swindonsotherrailway.co.uk/leftnav.html and a specific photo showing the arrangements of Rushey Platt station, probably in the 1930s from the same website here http://www.swindonsotherrailway.co.uk/mike90.html
