From the cab rank ....

"The taxi drivers at Chippenham are not pleased at the loss of Melksham fares from the train station since the bus was re-routed up there".

Second had comment, but worth adding in to the pot.

No disrespect to cabbies, but half of them are just arrogant drivers, so good, I am glad they are loosing some fares (appoliges to the 1 or 2 good cabbies out there)

I find the majprity of cabbies helpful and I do not begrudge them their business. However, they are providing a service which is personalised, less efficient and (should be) more expensive than mass transit and probably aren't the optimum on a travel corridor. So the news / comment heartens me as it suggests that - in spite of no signage or information - the bus is being used significanty.
