A passing loop and second platform was installed at Pewsey after a couple of years, and the line was converted to double track in 1899 in preparation for the opening of the Stert and Westbury Railway at Patney and Chirton.

By 2015 this bridge was in poor condition and was itself replaced by Network Rail with a new, taller, structure incorporating a rainwater drainage system and costing £465,000.

A cake was cut by Pewsey Parish Council chairman, Alex Carder, with First Great Western service delivery manager Alison Stone.

Even so, the film is correct in as much as any train going to Coombe Halt, the ultimate destination of the Pevensie children, would have to pass through Pewsey on its way from London Paddington.

Off-peak there is generally a train every 2 hours between London Paddington and Exeter St Davids of which some continue to Paignton, Plymouth or Penzance.
