Swindon was a small market town on the top of a hill when first the canal and then
the railway opened a short distance away in first half of the 19th century. The town spread down to the new transport links. The original Great Western Railway built its works beside the station and erected hundreds of homes for those employed there.
Now over 200,000 people live in the greater Swindon area and the station provides direct links to Bristol, Westbury, South Wales, London and the Thames Valley. The newly introduced IETs have cut journey times and provided extra seating capacity.
