A NEW funding bid for train stations in Corsham and Wilton have been submitted to the Department for Transport.
Wiltshire Council have bid for funding to develop feasibility studies for the two proposed stations as part of the DfT’s Restoring Your Railway Ideas Fund.
The proposed new two platform station for Corsham would connect the Great Western Main Line with potential links to London Paddington, Bristol, Swindon and Reading.
It would also reduce traffic in the town as it would provide easy access to and from the MOD Corsham site, according to the council.
