A change in station timetable format.
« on: December 09, 2007, 09:14:22 PM »

The timetable board at Melksham Station has changed ... showing "Portsmouth to Cardiff" and "Cardiff to Portsmouth" once again, with a mostly-white stripe across the tables against "Swindon", "Chippenham" and "Melksham".    I think we're in for another few rounds of "help the passengers read the timetable" - the game we used to play at the station when the timetable was previously in this format.

Actually I don't know whether to be sad or happy.  On one hand, the timetable is hard to read, but on the other it's a very widely used sheet and a darned good advert for the service - such as it is - whereas over the last year we've had what feel like an ongoing battle to get the train times displayed at all at places like Trowbridge.

The timetable board at the head of the station approach still had the old timetable on it this evening, and I haven't checked the town centre bus stops - it will be interetsing to see how long they take to change
