East
of Bradford on Avon, the branch from Bathampton joins the line from Thingley
Junction, near Chippenham, to Westbury. The line from Thingley divides
to form a triangular junction, with one connection the original main line-heading
towards Trowbridge and Westbury, and the other curving round towards Bradford.
Signalman Mervyn Hadbrook is seen in 1964 on duty at the signal box at
Bradford Junction. It was the last ex- GWR box in use in Wiltshire before
its demolition.
