taken 9 years ago, near to Great Bedwyn, Wiltshire, England
Bedwyn station is located in the village of Great Bedwyn, Wiltshire. The station opened in 1862, it is on the Reading to Taunton Line. The station is the last station on this line in the Network South East area.
The Reading to Taunton line is a major branch of the Great Western Main Line from which it diverges at Reading railway station. It runs to Cogload Junction (east of Taunton) where it joins the Bristol to Exeter and Penzance Line.
Since 1906 it has served as the principal route from London to Devon and Cornwall, having been created by the Great Western Railway joining up several earlier railway lines. These included the Berks and Hants Railway from Reading to Hungerford and part of the Wilts, Somerset and Weymouth Railway from Westbury to Castle Cary. The whole route is sometimes confusingly called the 'Berks and Hants Line'.
