INPUTS NEEDED by 8th March
I visited Taunton yesterday - a very full room at the SWTUPF meeting (details to follow) with folks from all over the South West listening to Alison Forster, MD of First Great Western.
Alison highly recommends that everyone gets input in on the draft timetable by 8th March and I back her up in the recommendation. They have received 2000 inputs so far and will categorise / consider all of them.
I sense that there's an excellent change of additional stops being recommended at places like Dean and Ivybridge where trains are passing through anyway. There's a very good chance that sensible, practical suggestions within the current proposed service level could be achieved elsewhere - for example that the proposed 2nd train through Melksham could be adjusted. I would rate the battle to have a suitable level of service through Melksham as being a tougher nut to crack, but - folks - don't rule it out.
Please PLEASE have a look at the form here that lets you input from our site direct to the timetabling folks. I've provided a number of suggestions you might like to endorse, or you can make your own.
Thanks
Graham
