			==Overview==

	~~For safe keeping:~~		This notice describes the work to bring into use the new junction connection to 'Swindon Distribution Centre' (South Marston Euroterminal). It was planned to take place on 7 and 14 February 2000, but, due to 'construction difficulties' the work did not take place.

			==Detail==

	~~This work~~ was ~~planned~~ to ~~take place on 7~~ and ~~14 February 2000~~, ~~but, due~~ to ~~'construction difficulties'~~ the ~~work did not take place~~.		A new set of points was to be commissioned forming a trailing connection in the Up Main with a Goods Reception Line, curving in sharply from the north. The trailing points in the Up Main were to be [[312]]B and the traps in the Goods Reception line were to be [[312]]A. There was also to be a facing crossover between the main lines [[311]], facilitating facing access to the Euroterminal from the Down Main. The crossover would also partially split the reversible section between Swindon East and [[Bourton]].

	[[~~File:WON-2000-03~~.~~png \| border~~]]		The existing signal spacing on the Down Main was inconvenient for the new layout, so several signals were planned to be moved closer together and an extra signal section inserted. [[DM.74]] signal was sited in the middle of what would become the junction complex, so was planned to be abolished and a new signal installed slightly further back, [[SN.4]] to protect the new junction. [[DM.74]] shared its cantilever structure with [[SN.624RR]]. This signal was to be moved back in sympathy with [[DM.74]]/[[SN.4]] and converted from an outer repeater signal to a controlled stop signal, [[SN.604]]. Both [[SN.4]] and [[SN.604]] were to be fitted with appropriate junction indicators for routes into the new Goods Reception and for reversible working.

	It was ~~later planned~~ to be ~~commissioned on 11~~ and ~~18 February 2002~~, as ~~described~~ in [[~~GWS~~.27]]:		The signal in rear of [[SN.4]], [[DM.73]], was moved 150 yards closer to Swindon, and a new signal was to be inserted to break the section in rear (between [[SN.20]] and [[DM.73]] - The new signal at a reincarnation of [[DM.72]]. There being insufficient braking distance between all these new signals, they were all installed as 4-aspects and the signals in rear of the re-aligned signals, [[SN.20]], [[DM.70]] and [[DM.69]] were all made up to 4-aspects.

	[[~~File:WON-2002-02~~.~~png \| border~~]]		The alterations on the Up Main were not to be as significant. [[UM.75]] was to be converted to a controlled signal, [[SN.81]].

	~~and~~		Only one signal was planned on the Goods Reception, [[SN.899]], which would have protected the main lines from moves leaving the Euroterminal. This was fitted with a theatre type route indicator. The signal was planned to not be lit or brought into use initially, there being no track in rear of SN.899.

	~~[[File:WON-2002-03~~.~~png \| border]]~~		All this work was planned to take place on 7 and 14 February 2000, but, due to 'construction difficulties' the work did not take place.

	~~but wasn't until 18 February and 4 March 2002...~~.		[[File:WON-2000-03.png \| border]]

	[[~~File:WON-2002-04~~.~~png \| border~~]]		It was later planned to be commissioned on 11 and 18 February 2002, as described in [[GWS.27]], but that commissioning also encountered difficulties, and wasn't until 18 February and 4 March 2002....
