Coming to a course in Melksham
Clearly, our customers cannot use phantom trains as from 11th December; here's our business statement telling people who to get to and from our courses in future. A bit of a personal post today ...I really wish I could offer the 234 bus service via Chippenham station as a good option - alas, it goes TO Chippenham in the morning and FROM in the evening which isn't the wrong time of day that our customers would be wanting to use it in each direction...
If you're travelling by train to a Well House Consultants course, we can meet you off the 19:08 arrival (Mondays to Fridays) from Swindon, which has a connection leaving London Paddington at 17:30.
If your course starts on a Monday, a train leaves Paddington at 18:00 on Sunday evening and arrives in Melksham (change at Westbury) at 19:51. There is also a later train on Sunday evenings. Please check Sunday times with the train operator, as engineering works at weekends frequently lead to schedule changes, diversions and bus substitutions.
For delegates who live near Paddington station, the early train at 07:00 will get you to Chippenham at 08:15, which gives you ample time to reach Well House Manor by taxi (approx 6 miles) for your 09:00 course start.
At the end of your course, we can help with arrangements for you to get home. We can drop you off at Melksham station for the 19:08 or 19:35 departures, or arrange a taxi to take you to Chippenham to catch the 17:55 train to London.
Some delegates prefer to stay over an extra night ... we can provide you with an early breakfast and give you a lift to Melksham station for the 07:17 train on Monday to Friday, connecting into the London train at Swindon. You'll be scheduled to arrive in Paddington at 09:00. This morning service runs 2 hours later on a Saturday.
Over the past five years, around 40% of our customers have arrived and left by public transport. Although we have plenty of parking and good car access, you don't need a vehicle if you're on one of our courses. We also have covered garage parking for cycles and motor cycles, and welcome delegates coming on two wheels.
