I reckon it's a train approaching Melksham Station, from Chippenham.  ;)

The train is going towards Melksham Station www.mrdg.org.uk  (http://www.mrdg.org.uk)  just passing the back of Leeks.

Not fair! I demand a recount! Chris didn't actually say where the next station is that this train is calling at.

Where is the next station for this train to call at;

It's a chance in a blooming million that any train approaching Melksham station would actually stop there, particularly as this photo was taken during daylight hours, which is why I stated that I believed that this train, which is patently approaching Melksham station and heading in a southerly direction, would next call at Westbury.

I think Chris's entry should be discounted  ;D

Indeed, Phil - I was very careful to say that I reckoned it was a train approaching Melksham Station - accepting that it was rather unlikely that it would actually stop there!  ;) :D ;D

So you're returning the gold star you were awarded under false pretences then?

Not that I'm at all competitive, you understand   :D ;D :P

I know they're Welsh - but isn't it Leekes   ;)

No, technically he was right. My allotment is just to the right of this photo, and it has leeks growing on it. Therefore, the train is actually passing leeks :)

I think you should be working on your allotment not mucking around on the internet - it looks a bit overgrown !  ;D

Passing on its way between Leeks and Leekes ... next stop Melksham, final destination (unless it's a very old picture!) Westbury.   So it must be taken on a Saturday or Sunday, as both southbound trains on Monday to Friday (passing here at 06:38 and 19:09) continue on to Southampton, where 143s ain't allowed.
