One of two footbridges at Chippenham, this one at the west end of the station for 'through traffic', is being removed to make way for a new station footbridge. The footbridge between the platforms is further east.

The new footbridge is required for a number of reasons, the existing ornate station footbridge is too low for OHLE to pass underneath, and also is not fitted with lifts. Disabled passengers are currently required to access the island platform using the barrow crossing over the Down Main at the west end of the station.
