The
Swindon & Cricklade Railway
is Wiltshire’s only standard
gauge heritage line and runs
through picturesque North Wiltshire,
using both steam and diesel
hauled trains. Having
celebrated it’s 30th anniversary
in 2008, the railway is now
looking to the future, when
one day, the length of track
will be four miles long, from
Mouldon Hill Country Park in
Swindon, through to Cricklade.
