Now that the new SWT and FGW frachises are settling down, perhaps it would be a good time to have a further look at the practicallity of having South West Trains continue a service that terminates at Salisbury from the South/East extend to Warminster, Dilton Marsh, Westbury, Trowbridge, Melksham, Chippenham and perhaps Swindon.

SWT have a major depot at Salisbury from where they operate a fleet of trains that have a reputation for smoothness, cleanliness and reliability that would be the envy of most operators ... and there is a substantial potential traffic from London (in the form of Waterloo) and / or Southampton up to West and North Wiltshire, as well as for local traffic.  SWT already operate on thsi route as far as Trowbridge anyway ... and if you talk to people in that town you'll find a great fondness for their "Waterloo trains" which they defend to the hilt!
