if your talking things like HST▸ (High Speed Train (Inter City class 43 125 units))'s and stuff, Bath Spa can fit a full HST on, Oldfield Park can fit about five on i think, and just because it's where I'm at uni, Cheltenham spa can fit a full HST on as well

Technically speaking Corsham doesn't have a station, so I'm not sure that user corshamjim was joking - I believe he merely misunderstood the question, adelante.

My nearest station is Melksham, and it can apparently take 4 carriages.

2 carriages at dawn in the direction of Swindon, and 2 carriages at dusk in the direction of Westbury.

And a fat lot of good they are to anyone wanting to actually travel anywhere by train.
