About Cafe Local Swindon
Cafe Local Swindon is a station cafe in Swindon, located on Platform 4 on Station Rd. It serves coffee and snacks to commuters passing through the station, including people travelling by rail each day. Coffee is what customers buy on their morning commute, and the snacks give them something to eat alongside a drink. The counter sits on the platform itself, so it forms part of the station rather than a separate stop away from the trains.
