Network Rail has advised that the closure date for Swindon Panel has moved slightly from ‘May 2014’ to ‘Late 2014’.

The later date does not have any detrimental effect or cost impact on the preservation effort, if anything it gives us slightly more time to prepare and get everything in place, so we’re not too concerned.

Network Rail has confirmed that it remains committed to facilitating the preservation of the panel, whenever the closure date may be.
