Wootton Bassett Junction Station, c.1960

6100 Class tank locomotive No. 6129 waits in steam at Wootton Bassett Junction Station in the early 1960's. Sited on the original London to Bristol main line, this was the third in a succession of GWR built stations to serve the town of Wootton Bassett, following on from Wootton Bassett Road and Wootton Bassett Station. The ?Junction was added to the station's title following the opening of the South Wales and Bristol Direct Railway in 1903 for which Wootton Bassett became an important junction station
