    Hello all,

    Does anyone happen to know where I might find photos/track plans for Cirencester Town station?

    Many thanks

    Chris: Just type "cirencester town station" into Google, and Google Images has a whole set of photographs of said location when in use, and one of the images is a track plan.

    Hope this helps.

    regards

    The one time I think "I won't Google it, it never really comes up with what I really need" is the one time I get caught out! Thanks 46118!

    Id also strongly recommend getting 'The Cirencester Branch' by Nigel Bray, printed by The Oakwood press in 1998. Should still be able to pick it up on ABE books, even if they dont print it anymore. Has some track plans, a good O/S map of the area of and around the station(1921), and best of all has some drawings of the original plans of the station. No dimensions sadly, though as happily the station still survives it not quite as big a problem as it might have been.....
