The Wessex Trains web site is reflecting on their four years in charge ... coming to an end on 31st March 2006.
Amongst other comments, they state We have grown the number of people travelling by rail in the South West by over 27%.
I would like to congratulate them on this achievement, and on the evern great growth of travellers buying tickers to and from Melksham which more than doubled in their first three years from 13000 to 27000 per annum.
The Wessex trains staff that we know are transferring to the First Group, and remain our contacts at least until we're notified otherwise. I would like to thank them for all the hard work they've put in under the "Wessex Trains" banner, and hope that we can work with them forward to a further doubling of travel to and from Melksham to 54000 journeys in three years from now, 108000 journeys in 6 years time, and 216000 in 9 years.
The seed has been sown; I invite the First group to grasp the nettle, forgive the mixed metaphor, and nurture it.

Goodbye Wessex, they've provided a mostly first class service for my 3 years of travel despite some mishaps (especially recently). They've done well in building up the timetable and have helped increase passenger numbers in the west as well as Melksham. They'll be sorely missed.
