Indeed it is - I believe that building is of major historic significance. 

Just 2 4 and 6 to identify.

Hmm. Why am I often surprised by which ones turn out to be harder?

No 2 Hungerford,

I just Bet that the Lights That are ON in the left background are lights for the Station Carpark.

Makes me wonder why the **** I bother to recycle, when FGW (First Great Western) just waste waste waste!

No dig at you Grahame, but if you check your photo collection you will find lights burning when not required all over the place.

The money FGW would save could pay for a Hourly Swindon-Westbury service!!!!

Yes, Hungerford it *is*.

I don't know about just how much is wasted on lighting ... but there are other expenditures that I look at and find myself saying "THAT could pay for ...".   Two have come up in the last few days. 

1. The cost quoted in the press for the loco hauled Weymouth services on 16 (?) Saturdays would pay the difference for a complete TransWilts services every day for a year. I hope that FGW have done their sums right and tabe more money with those Saturday trains that they  would in a year across Wiltshire.

2.  There are five towns in West Wilts - Trowbridge, Melksham, Warminster, Bradford-on-Avon and Westbury (listed biggest first).  First have just completed a spend of 2 million pounds on four out of the five.  Can you guess which they left out?  And if they had split the money evenly five ways, I think those of us who use the TransWilts would have been delighted for that money to be used to buy 2 years of a proper service.
