Further threats
News of another threat - or perhaps a "Beeching 2" scare story - in the Independent. Article by Christian Woolmar.
I've written myself horse over the last few weeks and I know that many of you have got in touch with Lesley Coleman and the illusive Peter West (has ANYONE heard back from him or from Roger Jones at the Department for Transport) and at least we have raised visibility of TransWilts and Melksham. I'm also looking to the County Council who consider the route has importance in their transport plan and to others to back up the case and perhaps (shock, horror) dip fingers in pockets. I'm keeping in touch with updates and snippets to all and sundry, and I've a couple of questions in to First that I'm waiting to hear back on ... but otherwise there's an element of "and now we must wait and see".
If you're reading this but you've not written to both the Department for Transport AND First to let them know what you think, please take a few minutes to do so - there's postal addresses available and perhaps that's going to be noticed better than an email.
