Don't let this become history!
Here's a picture of a daytime train just outside Melksham station; I'll intersperse this update and diary page with pictures from time to time as a picture paints a thousand words.
Alas, times do move on - there are already historic aspects to this picture even though it was taken just a few months ago. The factory, former home of GEC Mechanical handling has been demolished and residences are being built on the site as I write. Melksham has strong commuter flows to the neighbouring towns and this new development is ideally placed for people to travel to Chippenham, Swindon and Trowbridge. Let's hope that the trains are still running when they move in and they can get to Swindon in 25 minutes rather than 55 by bus.
