Could you be a bit more specific about the location? Was it on the inside of the curve as you come into Westbury (past the EWS▸ (English Welsh & Scottish Railway Ltd, now known as DB Schenker Rail (UK▸ (United Kingdom))) stone sidings on the left) or was it closer to the station itself (alongside the car dealership etc)?

Hmm, Part of the site is used by EWS▸ (English Welsh & Scottish Railway Ltd, now known as DB Schenker Rail (UK▸ (United Kingdom))) and part by Network Rail; I'm still not exactly clear which is affected - will have a look by the end of the week if somebody else hasn't answered in the meantime.
