Wiggly is a great way to reach places not covered by other practical means of transport ... I guess that gives journeys from Warminster to Horningsham which I don't think has much of a regular service anymore even though it did in the past. I was talking to a wiggly expert this morning (you know what I mean  ) and understand that the typical subsidy per journey for a wiggly passenger is 3.50. Which means that Mrs Brown goes off to town on the 8:21 bus and comes back in the afternoon, she's recouped 7 quid from her council tax. There's no other practical means for some people to get to work in Chippenham and Swindon except on the 05:37 from Westbury. As I understand it, a subsidy of 2.50 per head is in effect what First asked for to continue this and the other 30 Monday to Friday trains they withdraw in December. Should we invite WCC to provide this lesser subsidy per head considering that in both cases people are greatly effected by the othewise public transport shortage.
