Hi
Just to let you know I went for the 05.52 from Melksham to Chippenham.
I was the only person to catch the train, but there were all ready 9 people on the service.
Looks like they want the direct service to Swindon, and not go via Bath.
I think not just Melksham folk make a noise about the possiable Lost of direct trains but any one who using it.

I agree, and the economic case for the line is made much better if all users are counted. The problem I've had is knowing who to reach in .... Trowbridge, Chippenham, Swindon. In each of those places it's just another train and a tiny proportion of the railway users, and finding the users of this particular, and least frequent, train that's the problem.
I estimate that four people stay on the train for every one who gets on or off. And I would dearly love to reach them and their other users. Last Friday, the train coming down to Trowbridge for the meeting was busy - about 30 or 40 people on board - but only half a dozen or so got off for the meeting. We haven't reached the others yet, or they don't care.
