We had pencilled in this evening as a possible "Save the Train" commitee meeting ... which I have been reminded about by email.  Anyone who wants to pop around to our place / arrive between 7:15 and 7:30 is very welcome and it would be useful (to put it mildly) to talk things through but no formal meeting. And I need to pop out at about 7:40 to drop a customer off for the 7:50!

There has been a LOT happening in the last 6 weeks - new FGW staff appearing and previous ones either left or in the process of leaving, so where to feedback is somewhat up in the air.  I do know there's a big stakeholder meeting today with the new route director (West) concerning Portsmouth - Cardiff, but it's an operators and financers meeting (and perhaps regulators) rather than anything that customers or customer representatives are invited to.

You'll see elsewhere that I have been in touch with the route director and been invited to meet up with him to talk through the case in more detail.  Provisionally, that's at the start of the week after next, evening, here in Melksham and I would very much like to have 1 or 2 of you here as well.  Meeting only set up yesterday, so still gathering thoughts.
