Many know that Dilton Marsh station inspired a John Betjeman poem, but did you know that it had been immortalised in song as well? - http://www.diltonmarsh.org/main/pages/main.php?pageID=141

Everytime I pass through Dilton Marsh, I always want to get off and see what is actually there and experience the 91m platform!  Perhaps I'll add it to my list of things to do before I die!

I think the locals would disagree with you, smithy  ;D - http://diltonmarsh.org/main/pages/main.php?itemID=1

Personally, I think its striking how, due to development in the Westbury area, Dilton Marsh is fast becoming a suburb of that town.
