Oh yes, the freight line is not a platform. I would of thought Bradford on Avon/ Trowbridge/ Frome/ Bruton/ Castle Cary are better stations for accessing the rural hinterland, as you don't have to walk through much town to get into the countryside. But Westbury is served by more trains than...

Westbury. 4 platform station for a 16,000 population, just happens that a junction between many lines occurs there. Great for trainspotting though!
