The town of Swindon is situated in the English county of Wiltshire and has great roads routes to the rest of the country. It lies around 80 miles east of London on the busy M4 motorway which runs all the way through to Wales. It is also on the busy Wales-London rail link which was established in the 19th century.
The town has largely been an industrial town for much of its life and served as a hub for goods travelling east to west throughout the south of the country. Today it still is that hub but to a smaller scale as vehicles can now travel farther in one day.
