Swindon & Cricklade Railway	Hayes Knoll shed
	Steam on the Railway Stock list Diesels on the Railway Stock list Rolling stock on the Railway Stations on the Railway Hayes Knoll locomotive shed	Hayes Knoll shed seen from the signal box. All this is entirely new, and has been built by the Railway on a new site. The station platform can handle four-coach trains, and this is the capacity that is intended by the time the Railway is extended to Moulden Hill. Here, another new station is planned on the Western outskirts of Swindon. The shed provides over 500 ft of track in three roads for the repair and restoration of locomotives and rolling stock.
