It was originally called the South Marston Euroterminal.
Some details of the technical arrangements here https://reference.swindonpanel.org.uk/index.php/South_Marston
As mentioned in that it has been rarely used and I think the last train to visit was a railtour in October 2022.

What purpose does/did the spur have that branches off the Swindon-Didcot line close to Swindon Police Station and above "Dunelm"? Map.
I was out that way this morning so had a snoop as best I could from public roads. There's a somewhat rusty single spur off the main line that disappears through gates. Scrolling enlarges the map and shows what appear to be three loops that merge into two sidings, to the west of AIT Home Delivery.
I've looked at various other maps but can spot no clues. It doesn't feature on maps published up to the early 1970s.
Any info, please?
