A BETTER railway line between Gloucestershire and Wiltshire is being promised by rail bosses.

Major work has begun on a £45 million project to improve a section of railway line between the two counties.

Planned changes by Network Rail include reinstating a second line, which was shut in the 1960s, between Kemble and Swindon.

A spokesman said: "It will increase network capability allowing the operation of four trains per hour along the line of route in each direction."

    “wonder how much it cost to remove, added to the cost of re-implementing it, vs. the cost of keeping it.”
