An easy timetable - Melksham to Chippenham and Swindon
I was reading in this morning's Wiltshire Times a letter describing the problems of finding out the times of the direct Trowbridge to Waterloo train service, even at Trowbridge station. Dear letter writer, I know how you feel; the signs at Melksham are entitled "South Wales to Brighton", and if you're travelling from Melksham to Swindon you need to look under the "Brighton to South Wales" part Of course!
What's needed? Well - I personally would like to see a simple statement along the lines of:
Trains leave Melksham station for CHIPPENHAM and SWINDON as follows:
Monday to Friday:
05:52 07:45 13:35 17:02 21:33
Saturday:
08:01 13:35 17:00 21:50
Sunday:
12:44 16:43 21:03
and arrive at Chippenham about 10 minutes later, and Swindon about 25 minutes later.
Trains return from Swindon to MELKSHAM at
Monday to Friday:
06:30 08:46 14:23 17:43 22:11
Saturday:
08:50 14:23 17:50 22:25
Sunday:
13:21 17:23 21:41
These trains leave CHIPPENHAM about 15 minutes after Swindon, and arrive at Melksham 25 minutes after Swindon.
I need just one footnote - please note that up to and including Sunday, 6th November, the weekend service is replaced by a bus running to a slightly different timetable. See here
