Market Place Bus Stop
« on: January 04, 2006, 07:41:50 PM »

I was waiting for a Trowbridge bus yesterday and I noticed 2 large timetables for the trains at Melksham.  A great addition however its on the wrong side of the road.   The people seeing it would be the ones who are either alighting from the Bath Service or going to Trowbridge / Devizes.   It would be better to have a new noticeboard on the other side so that those people who are waiting for the Bath bound bus will be able to see the times. 

It also looks like these timetables are advertising the Waterloo Services as there are some highlighted columns and rows.   

Graham, how about a nice set of your timetables to go in the Market Place (both sides!) when it gets redeveloped?

Yes, the timetable at the Market Place is really on the "wrong" side of the road.  I'm told that space there is very limited indeed and that  the current train schedule that's up is all that there's room for (and there's no room at all on the other side).

In general terms, I'm very happy for anyoine who has an appropriate display board to put up copies of that timetable sheet that I produced - I can even produce them larger / smaller / laminated / single or double sided on request.

I've got a copy in the shelter at the station (thanks for permission to put it there to West Wilts Rail Users and Melksham Railway Development Group) and at the Library, and I've made sure that there are copies available at the Tourist Information.  I handed out copies to everyone leaving / joining trains on 16th December (with a request to people I knew who were joining the trains to hand them out on board too ...) and I handed them out on the "Santa Special".

Could you possibly email me a copy Graham?  I could get one put up at George Ward reception so that staff can send details out to anyone who wants them.
