Overview

There are emergency crossovers at Uffington for the facilitation of Reversible Working (east to Wantage Road, west to Bourton).

Station

There was a station at [Uffington] between 1840 and 1964, closed before the advent of Swindon MAS.

Interlocking

One of Swindon's interlockings is situated at Uffington - a WR E10k freewired relay interlocking - commissioned on 30th May 1965[1] (before the opening of the Panel). It was originally controlled by Uffington Signal Box, recontrolled to Swindon Panel when it opened on 3rd March 1968[1].

The next interlocking to the east was Wantage Road until Swindon B opened, when it became SWDN02 on 13 March 1993[1].
