I have a theory - that the curent timetables are more complex that they need to be.  Why should I have to look at a page headed "Brighton to South Wales" if I want to finc out about the trains from Melksham to Swindon, and why should the information on how to get from Melksham to Bath by train - a journey of about 12 miles - not even be available at Melksham station?

Oh - wait - I can possibly help there ...

There seems to be quite intensive pressure for poster space at the station.  I've just replied to other emails talking about a town map (which is there now on the top board) and also taxi information (now there in the sign in the shelter);  I've seen past comments about accommodation details and how to get there - but I think that's perhaps a bit specialist as most people will have booked ahead.

I'm going to ask who controls what in terms of the signs, and what the statutory requirements are, etc.   In spite of the negative start in the last paragraph which may suggest a lack of room, I think I (with Lisa's help) may be able to produce something to go up at the station.   And also produce sheets for the tourist information too ....
