It provided a north–south link between the Midland and the London \u0026amp; South Western railways through the heartland of the Great Western Railway. It also served several military establishments. It joined the Banbury \u0026amp; Cheltenham Direct Railway at Andoversford with running rights to Cheltenham; its junction with the L\u0026amp;SWR was at Andover. Passing west of the GWR station at Swindon it was sometimes referred to as ‘Swindon’s Other Railway’.The M\u0026amp;SWJR was absorbed by the GWR in 1923. The line closed to passengers in 1961 and goods by 1970. The Swindon \u0026amp; Cricklade heritage railway is based at Blunsdon. The trackbed from Chiseldon to Marlborough is now a cycleway.","brand":"Amberley Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46613438431487,"sku":"9781445663364","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/Jacket_8ef3409b-d5f7-49c4-85b0-1d54f38e4c5c.jpg?v=1739941008","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/de\/products\/9781445663364","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
