The eastern end of platforms 2/3 at Salisbury station in Wiltshire. The train in the background is a South West Trains Class 159/0 DMU at platform 6. A major fatal accident caused by excessive speed on the curve east of the station in the early years of the 20th Century led to the imposition of a rule that all trains must stop at Salisbury station.

Looking east at the estern end of the unused platform 1 at Salisbury station, photographed from the gateway that would provide access from the walking route from the subway to the car park on the old goods yard. The train in the background is a South West Trains Class 159/0 DMU at platform 6.

Salisbury station, photographed looking west from midway along platform 6 (a south-facing bay platform attached to the end of platform 4. The train is South West Trains Class 159/0 DMU 159009 that is about to begin a service to London Waterloo. The bridge in the foreground is Fisherton Bridge, the scene of a high-speed derailment in the early years of the 20th Century that resulted in the deaths of 45 people when an express boat train from Plymouth to London colided with an early morning London to Yeovil milk train and a stationary goods train in the station. The cause was excessive speed, and since that time all trains have been required to stop at Salisbury station.

Salisbury station, photographed looking east from the western end of platform 3. The large building is, I think, a former signal box but is now disused.

Salisbury station, photographed looking east from the western end of platform 2. The large building is, I think, a former signal box but is now disused. Platform 1 on the left is currently unused but looks like it could be brought back into action easily should the demand require it.

A general view of Salisbury station taken from the London end. Ever since the 1906 Salisbury Rail Crash, when a London and South Western Railway express from Plymouth derailed and colided with a milk train on a very sharp curve to the east of the station when racing a Great Western Railway express to London, all through trains have been required to stop at Salisbury station.

Platforms 1 (right) and 2 at Salisbury station. Platform 1 is currently unused for passenger trains, although it gives the impression of being easily reinstated. The train at platform 2 is a First Great Western Class 158/9 DMU on a Cardiff Central - Portsmouth Harbour service.

A diagramatic station plan of Salisbury station with east at the top. Contrary to how it is shown here, platform 6 (top right) is an east-facing bay platform that extends from the end of platform 4 much further east than the rest of the station. Also not indicated on the plan is that platforms 1 (left) and 5 (bottom right) are not currently in passenger use, with platform 5, a west-facing bay, being used to stable trains.

The ticket office at Salisbury station in Wiltshire, viewed from the entrance from the car park. Platforms 4-6 are through the arch straight ahead, while the subway to platforms 1-3 is accessed through a similar arch in the left hand wall, although this is not visible in this photograph.

The arch leading from the ticket office to the subway to platforms 1-3 at Salisbury station. Platform 1 is not currently used for passenger services, and so the number has been removed from the sign. Platform 5 is also unused for passengers, but interestingly it remains on the sign above the equivalent arch to platforms 4-6.

Looking east from the eastern end of east-facing bay platform 6 at Salisbury station in Wiltshire. I suspect that the tower on the right is a former water tower from the days of steam.
