The transwilts campaign
« on: January 08, 2008, 11:10:39 AM »

Hello one and all!

Seeing our latest member talk about Dilton Marsh this morning got me thinking. Do we have people on here from EVERY area of the transwilts? If so, is it worth arranging for someone to "report in" on each part of the route... eg someone for Dilton Marsh, someone for Melksham etc.. I know we are all busy people, but is there any milage in that?
Also, is it worth organising some kind of mass press update, or some kind of public event, both to remind locals that there is a service and that its worth fighting for, and also to remind "the powers that be" that we are still here, still hoping. Gentle nudging every now and again might be what all sides need to keep the transwilts issue high up on the agenda.

Thoughts anyone?

I'm here and vaguely representing Melksham as best I can (as Graham well knows!)

While I think of it, I'm not sure if anyone's referenced the following link on here before now

http://www.mylinkspage.com/rail.html

- it includes a list of other active (and some not so active) rail campaigns. Might be worth adding ours to it as well as plundering others for ideas and contacts...
