The heart says "public transport", the head forces car
Isn't it ridiculous? I'm going to an event called "Social Enterprise and the railways" today - and I'm Driving there - to Swindon. How silly can you get - well - I could have left of the direct train at 19:50 last night. I could catch the hourly but to Chippenham then the hourly train on - but that would leave me with a 56 minute wait as the timetables have been designed to fail the through traveller.
Amongst the speakers is Anne Snelgrove - local MP and PPS to the Transport Secretary Ruth Kelly. It will be very interesting to hear what she has to say about the provision of public transport that is capable of meeting the disparate range of travel requirements we have in this area.
Here are some recent links:
