Mileage from junction station. The branch was served by a dedicated through platform with a mainline junction to the south.
*According to The Cirencester Branch LP 207 OP 1998 p53 through trains ran between Swindon and Cirencester Town. This is difficult to confirm from Bradshaw's. B1449 Jun 1954, for example, shows a 1000pm SO Swindon - Cirencester (Town) arr. 1058pm on Table 105 p88a. However, Table 106 p91 shows the corresponding train, 1050pm SO Kemble - Cirencester (Town) with no reference to a through service from Swindon.
Any further information welcome.
