Indeed, Lee .... and we're back into the season of no daylight trains at all at Melksham .... Yesterday's 19:08  About 20 people on board at Melksham. And one of the regulars stopped for a chat and told me that in spite of the awful timing, the morning train is regaining custom - up to (his estimate) around 40 that morning. |

In other words , despite the truly awful timings , TransWilts demand remains remarkably resillient , and is actually increasing. Imagine what we could do with an appropriate service. |

Lee, you've got a whole string of major towns with a heavy traffic flow between them, and a road that's a mjore bottleneck as it passes round Chippenham, through Beanacre, through parts of Melksham, then round single carriageway bypasses past oodles of roundabouts that get clogged as it gives access to the county town of Trowbridge ..... I'm not surprised at the resurgence. Shows the the County Council's work showing that an appropriate service level of "one an hour" isn't far off the mark, even though it's a far more ambitious target than we have set ourselves at this stage. |
