Blunsdon
Station platform was the first to be rebuilt, and is on the site
of the original structure. Originally adequate for two-coach trains,
an extension has now been added allowing four coaches to be run. This is the station waiting room - a wooden railway building rescued from Malmesbury and restored on site, with the addition of a solid fuel stove. More recently, a similar building was also saved from a farm the same area, in remarkably good condition. This has been restored for use as a training facility for Railway staff. |

| Blunsdon Signal Box came from Claydon Junction, and was dismantled and brought to Blunsdon in 1985. Originally fabricated at Derby in 1942, was erected at Claydon on the LMS Bletchley - Oxford line in a record 26 hours. This view shows the box when new steps were being built to meet the Blunsdon platform extension. |
