Have a look at the link below. http://fosbr.org.uk/Budget.htm'We're absolutely delighted by the decision. It shows the Council wants to use the local rail network to cut congestion - and it sends a message to central government that Bristol is serious about investing in public transport. We're looking forward to working with the Council and with First to make sure the trial period is a success.' "This money is expected to pay for one extra train. The improvement has been described by the Council as a "three year trial" of a more frequent service." "It is critical that local authorities and their council tax payers are not seen as a soft touch who will provide a blank cheque to private companies such as rail and bus companies. We are not here to put money into the pockets of rail company shareholders and have a duty to ensure best value for the people of Bristol" Now re - read the above quotes and substitute the word "Wiltshire" for "Bristol." Having heard the views of "stakeholders" at last night's meeting , I dont see why we cant follow the successful example of FOSBR and their soon to be improved train service.
