Didn't you read page 52 of web document?
With apologies to Douglas Adams (and I paraphrase)
"Hadn't you seen the notice that Earth was going to be destroyed to make way for a hyperspace bypass - the notice was at the library on planet xxxxx for 9 years and if you had asked the assistant there about it, she would have moved the coffee machine so that you could read it ...."
I was reminded of Douglas Adam's hyperspace bypass yesterday by a letter from "Whitehall" telling me that the plans for the new service levels were sent out for consultation in the spring and they got very little feedback about Melksham. Small wonder if those of us who use the service, or have a business that relies on the service, didn't see the consultation documents; perhaps they went to the wrong place. And perhaps our line was hidden (and I've used the word hidden intentionally) within some other deep document.
I first became aware that there was an issue with service reduction in August. An article in the paper lead me to a 100 page SRA document at a fairly obsure URL. The Melksham service was an implication of a single line on page 52 .....
