Fishguard, exactly like Melksham, currently "enjoys" a service of two train a day, at times that (to put it mildly) are unsuitable for the local population and travellers to the town.

The population of Fishguard is 3000, and the article talks of a 90 minute journey by road to the major centre for the area.

The population of Melksham is 24000, and it's a 90 minute journey by bus to Swindon.

There's excellent talk in the article of improving the Fishguard service - good news

The December 2007 timetable for Melksham moves the Monday to Friday morning train even earlier, and the evening train even later - only be a minute of two - bad news.

Of course, Fishguard is in a different country where there appears to be a more caring Government and Train Operating Company.
