The terminus of the Swindon & Cricklade Railway's southern extension will be a new station in Mouldon Hill Country Park. The pictures on this page show that some quite significant progress has already been made.

The way in A new embankment has already been constructed to carry the line into Mouldon Hill. Here it is, complete with the culvert and storm drains required by local residential development.


Trackbed Complete with new ballast, this is the trackbed laid on the embankment shown above. Just visible top right is a bridge carring Swindon's Northern Distributor Road.



Work on the trackbed This is the last section of trackbed waiting for rails. Vegetation has been cleared, and remedial work on bridges etc will soon be in hand.



This is what we are aiming for! This picture was taken in Hayes Knoll station. We built Hayes Knoll on a very similar site, so we have had a bit of practise!
