There are plans to electrify the Great Western Main Line by 2016, which would introduce faster and larger capacity 'Super Express' trains on the line, resulting in reduced journey times. Chippenham is also one of many stations that will be improved as part of the 'Access for All scheme' (AfA). When completed it will assist disabled and less abled passengers to catch services more easily, with the installation of lifts, new accessible foot bridges and tactile paving.
