I wonder what ticket sales were in those days ... and I notice that, sparse though the service was, the Monday to Friday train arrived in Swindon when people wanted it (not 40 minutes earlier) and left at the optimal time (not 70 minutes later). The Saturday timings were good for the day or half day in Swindon too. Although we'll have slightly more trains in December '06 than we had in 1990, the pattern of service looks like it's a step back even from this level.
Please - I WANT an Oxford to Westbury service back ... an that's not just personal; there's a huge logic to it or an extended version down to Salisbury - perhaps picking up the slots from the Westbury to Salisbury leg of the "Southampton Shuttle" when it's withdrawn from that part of its route on its transfer to SWT. Or pehaps SWT would like to run a whole Southampton to Oxfors service.
