Lee, I'm afraid yoiu are a bit of a cynic at times.

Here's a quote from an email I just sent out comparing the treatement that the "TransWilts" got during FGW's consultation to that which the Heart of Wessex got.

I've been given a very posh document on the "Heart of Wessex" partnership - the Bristol to Weymouth line via Bath, Trowbridge, Frome,  Yeovil, Dorchester (etc) where the community rail partnership is chaired by one of the WCC officers.  Notable to see all the successes they list in getting the timetable changes made for last December to suit the needs of the customers.    You may spot a slight note of jealousy in my wording, but really I wish them the best with that - good for them - and can we please have the same for the line that's all in Wiltshire as well as the one that dips in and out ;-)

If I were a cynic, I would say that the people who reviewed the consultation inputs took the Weymuth inputes seriously and acted on them, but they just has a good laugh at our aspirations and didn't do a single thing that helped move towards any of them.
