Commuter train times
« on: February 22, 2006, 04:21:30 PM »

If it is to be just two trains per day, these would be my suggested timiings into Swindon in the morning and out in the evening:

Westbury 0744
Trowbridge 0750
Melksham 0759
Chippenham 0809
Swindon 0825

Swindon 1735
Chippenham 1752
Melksham 1802
Trowbridge 1811
Westbury 1818.

As for the second train, I am not sure - there could be a number of options, one being back from Swindon at around 0840 to arrive in Westbury at around 0920 in the morning and the other could be from Westbury at around 1640 to arrive in Swindon at around 1720.  Another option could be to run it at midday to give people the option to only spend half a day at wheever they are going.  If it is two trains I see absolutely no point in the service from Westbury at 1913 (arriving Swindon 1955)  This is clearly a stock working and no thought has been put into the timing,

Nick, I'm with you on both of those timings (the 08:40 off Swindon and 16:40 off Westbury would allow me to continue to use the train!).   There's a slight discussion if the evening train from Swindon could be a few minutes later but not as late as the 18:12 proposed ...
