Melksham Railway Station


Decay has set in although it is not yet terminal

The station sees more trains these days

Which is a small improvement

But the neglect of the past still hangs heavily in the air

I am in the utilitarian waiting shelter

And can sense the railwaymen of the past

Remembering the people from this once vibrant town

As they travelled to Westbury and Swindon and beyond

These destinations can still be reached today

But ghosts do not travel by train
