Title: Any idea where this is? Post by: Chris from Nailsea on June 12, 2010, 23:40:48 While doing some research for the TransWilts Community Rail Partnership (http://atrebatia.info/community/index.php?board=1.0), I stumbled across this picture:

Title: Re: Any idea where this is? Post by: JayMac on June 13, 2010, 03:04:02 I'd say it was taken prior to closure, so maybe 1965/66. It was also around that time that the 'double arrow' BR logo seen in the photo was introduced.

Apparently, Melksham was one of the very first stations to be rebranded with the 'double arrow' logo.
