 The view north from the footbridge. |
 And the view south. The track on the left is the remains of the Cirencester branch. This curves around the main station building and ends at a buffer stop in the car park. |

 The tour enters the 409 yard long Kemble Tunnel. The line is single track from this spot until just outside Swindon. |
