Chippenham station platforms
The station formerly had three platform tracks, but only two remain, either side of an island platform and can only be reached by means of a footbridge (a similar arrangement to that at Halifax, for example).
The main building (on the disused platform) and the platform canopies date from 1858 (some time after the station first opened in 1841), were designed by Rowland Brotherhood, a local engineering contractor, and are grade II listed (list entry 1268119).
