Hey everyone,
Just a thought I've been having. Would it be worth our while trying to put posters up at the stations along the "Transwilts" Line, to see if we catch the eyes of those who travel/would like to travel on the service? The more people we have on board (excuse the pun) the more "clout" we can weld. Not a heavy duty campaign, but something to let the masses know that there are those of us working for change.
This may have been dicussed previously, before my time here, but I wondered if it was a route worth looking down?

Well .. we couldn't fly post  and some of the stations don't have too many spare sign boards / those which are available need to have permission sought ... |

Having just seen the comment regarding the "more train, less strain" campaign and contacting the Frome times.. Is it worth contacting the Gazette and Herald or the (Wiltshire Times(?)) and seeing if they would be prepared to lend some extra media driven pressure to the cause. Would also be a good way of rallying support. Save the need for postering!

Daniel, it's not "either/or" - it's worth doing both / all. And it's worth everyone who's concerned letting their concerns be known. Yes, please do write to the papers.
One of the things that I found very surprising is just how much publicity is needed to reach a substantial proportion of the population - even the interested parties. I travelled on the very last commuter train from Swindon to Melksham last month, with Andrew Griffiths the Regional Manager with FGW, and he was taken to task by a traveller on the service who had just discovered on that day - its very last run - that it was to be discontinued.
