Wiltshire CC are going for the easy option in terms of appearing to think straight about rail services across Wilts.  They show a singular lack of understanding of the problem.  We need (as we all know) a decent service across the county, both to increase the opportunities for car commuters to leave the daily drags along the A350 and to be serious about reducing the unnecessary carbon emissions from the same.  Simply applying cosmetic measures to a future lack between Salisbury and Westbury will do nothing to improve the underlying problem of getting services to an appropriate level right across the county up to Swindon and down to Salisbury.
