Anti - Terror Measures To Be Introduced At Chippenham , Salisbury & Swindon
« on: November 15, 2007, 02:18:56 PM »
There is likely to be bag-screening and body searches at the busiest stations , such as Bristol Temple Meads and Bath Spa , which will cause delays at peak times.

And the Prime Minister announced security barriers , vehicle exclusion zones and blast resistant buildings will be introduced at up to 250 of the busiest UK train stations.

That means the stringent precautions will be introduced at Swindon , Bristol Parkway , Salisbury and Chippenham too. More in the links below.
