Message from Andrew Griffiths of First .... to whom I wrote when I learnt that an extra train had been found for the Ivybridge service ...

Graham

Somehow thought this news would be of interest to you.  It only goes to show that concerted lobbying can have results.

As to why funding has been found for Ivybridge and not Melksham you will need to ask DfT...  No doubt your MP and the media might be interested too.  The comparison in footfall for the year 2005/06 shows 48,423 for Ivybridge and 24,417 for Melksham; I will leave you to work out the number of people boarding/alighting per service call but on that measure I guess it shows a greater rate of use for Melksham.

Best wishes,


so ... please PLEASE keep writing / emailing ... decision makers who need to be approached NOW are listed at ....this page
