Southampton to Westbury RESTORED
On the 3rd April draft timetable, the Southampton to Westbury section of the service is restored - many thanks to Chris Grayling, who's the Conservative spokeman for transport and has a Hampshire consituency ... publicity at Dean and Dunbridge, and the department for Transport has contributed a million pounds for the service for the next 12 months, to then be reviewed as part of the South West trains franchise.
What a pity that the service restoration stops short of the section of the line that's most dramatically effected by the curring of the services.
What a pity that Southampton and Salisbuury still loose their service to Chippenham and Swindon.
What a pity that cuts remain from Melksham, where there are more ticket sales than at Dean and Dunbridge added together.
