			==Spring Points in Loops==

			The spring points at the entrances to the loops has been the subject of much discussion. For safe keeping, here are two documents relating to that.

	Uffington was formerly a significant station complex, with a junction for a branch line to Faringdon. The layout was reduced in ~~preparation to~~ MAS to that of simply main lines, with a goods loop on each side, and a set of facing and trailing crossovers worked by [[Uffington Ground Frame\|ground frame]].		Uffington was formerly a significant station complex, with a junction for a branch line to Faringdon. The layout was reduced in connection with the introduction of MAS to that of simply main lines, with a goods loop on each side, and a set of facing and trailing crossovers. Crossovers at both Challow and Ashbury, as well as Ashbury Up Siding, were worked by ground frames released by Uffington. Upon takeover of the area by Swindon Panel a [[Uffington Ground Frame\|ground frame]] was provided at Uffington to work the crossovers formerly controlled by the box.

			The next interlocking to the east was Wantage Road until [[Swindon B]] opened, when it became SWDN02 on 13 March 1993<ref name="BPSR" />. The next interlocking to the west was Highworth Jcn from the opening of the panel in March 1968, until the commissioning of Bourton Interlocking on 01 October 1977.

			===Overrides===

			The interlocking was fitted with remote control overrides (through routes) from at least the opening of the panel, and later with selective overrides. The interlocking was latterly fitted with a local override as well.

			The through routes and local override operate 'straight up and down' routes: 10B, 89B, 93A.

			Selective overrides are available for 610B and 693A, to allow a train to 'escape' the reversible.
