6.44 passagner numbers
« on: February 12, 2007, 06:59:56 PM »

Hi
I was on the 6.44 today 12/2/07 & Friday 09/02/07. on both days the figures are:

2 people got on at Melksham
1 got off at Melksham

There were 4 people on the train when it left Melksham, the other 2 got on at Chippenham. (one of these works for FGW and he got off at Trowbridge).

At Trowbrigde 3 people got off and no-one got on and so it left Trowbridge with 1 Passagener.

I understand no one gets on at Trowbridge as the next stop is Westbury.

You can see the service is not being used as much.

Hello, I saw a similar story when I was doing my counts. Would you like a copy of the results when I email them out tomorrow. Email me at wyvus@hotmail.com if you do.

6.44 on 15/2/06.

1 off at Melksham
3 on at Melksham

4 off at trowbridge (1 FGW Staff, 1 for Trowbridge, 1 going onto Bristol Temple Meads and 1 to Filton Abbey Wood)
none on at Trowbridge.

1 left on going to Warminster but would have a 50 minute wait at Westbury for connection.  Sad

Yet ANOTHER traffic flow ruined by the new timetable!

The 06:30 from Swindon used to pick up passengers all along the way for Salisbury and beyond ... lots of people joined it at Trowbridge ...
