I'm not talking about that Alanis Morissette song, but the Train West model rail exhibition thats taking place in the Olympiad leisure centre in Chippenham this weekend: http://www.trainwest.org.uk/This exhibition has been running for many years I think. The reason for my post is that I distinctly remember that in 2000 when the trains using the trans wilts line were expanded from 2 per day to the current 5 they offered an entry discount for anybody who had travelled from West Wilts using the new service (they had to show their tickets on the door) They were talking about the event on BBC Radio Wilts last night and mentioned that from next year it will be moving to Melksham. The irony being that it i unlikely you will be able to travel by train where ever it is held

Nick There was talk of the station moving to near Mcdonalds (there building new homes there) handy to get coffee if the train is cancalled or late  and nearer to bus stop to get bus to Chippenham.

The station move was on the presumption that there would be an adequate train service and I suspect that the budget wouldn't be there if it was just two trains a day ... and (dare I say it) with a further review of some of the ex-Wessex lines based on traffic levels this summer, and yet ANOTHER review in 2009 or so when new closure laws may come in that would make shutting down services still easier.
