Not sure whether to post this topic in this section or 'places on the line'.  Anyway, Wootton Bassett station has long since closed but does anyone know if there are any plans or campaigns to reopen it?  Clearly if it did reopen then it would be unlikely that the expresses would stop there, it would be local trains like the current Melksham trains (or BTM to Oxford trains if that service were ever revived)  This could be an angle worth looking at for our campaign to keep and enhance the service using the Melksham line?

Both "future" and "On the line", me thinks!    Really - post where you feel is appropriate. It's not as if posts are going to get lost in a forest - yet  Wink

I did an online search for the Wootton Bassett Park and Ride project a few weeks ago, and it seemed to have faded our rather; I was also trying to track down anothe scheme that I can vaguely recall about a West Swindon Park and Ride; the railway passes very close to the M4 / main road into Swindon junction bewteen Wootton Bassett and Swindon, and I think there was an idea there.

I found nothing on West Swindon, but I did find some references / names for Wootton Bassett, none current.  I did drop an email to the current email address of one of the people concerned, but haven't received any reply.   Of course, we can't draw any conclusions from a single email ...
