Here in Melksham - a town of approaching 24,000 - our railway station is in the back of an industrial estate.   It's only about 50 yards off the main roads, with four different hourly buses serving the various parts town, but none of these buses stop for about quarter of a mile either way (no continuous footpath, of course, to reach these stops), let alone any of the buses actually calling at the station.

There ARE cycle lockers at the station.   They're locked, and it's rumoured that keep cyclists can borrow the keys from the town hall, about 3/4 of a mile away.

Ticket sales to / from Melksham rose dramatically in the five years from 2001 to 2006 - from 3000 per annum to 27000 per annum.  Result?  First Great Western withdrew 60% of the trains last December and retimed the remaining 2 (each way) daily.  You can now go to Swindon at 07:17 or 19:50. Only.
