Meeting, tonight
Meeting by Trowbridge station, Tonight (Friday, 21st April) from 6 p.m. onwards.
I've been planning to travel down on the 18:09 from Melksham but see it was cancelled - AGAIN - last night; I really don't want to miss the meeting so I have a conundrum .... to risk the train service or to drive.
Yesterday's train running was truely dreadful - looks like 4 out of the 10 trains were cancelled and that can't be put down to a single "incident" as it was the morning rush hour round trip and the evening rush hour round trip. When it gets to this sort of level, the average user is going to be saying to him or her self "why bother" or "what's the alternative" ....
I'll be there tonight. On the train if it runs. By car if it doesn't .... I'm one of the lucky ones as I can drive. Think of the guy who can't drive for medical reasons who I met at the station a few weeks ago; what position do the operators put HIM in when they cancel the train
