Mr Haines explained that in his short time in office he had drastically altered his management team to meet the considerable challenges of the future.
He called on local rail users, action groups and politicians to work with FGW to lobby for a better deal for rail in the South West.
But hopes for improved services on the Swindon-Salisbury line, which takes in a number of stations in west Wiltshire including Melksham and Westbury, were played down.
Mr Haines said there were higher priorities facing FGW. |

But hopes for improved services on the Swindon-Salisbury line, which takes in a number of stations in west Wiltshire including Melksham and Westbury, were played down.
Mr Haines said there were higher priorities facing FGW. Very disappointing. It reads rather as if FGW don't have enough resources to handle more than one priority at a time. But things can get distorted by the press - perhaps someone should write a letter to Mr Haines asking for clarficaion of the story? |

I have indeed been in touch with Mr Haines and Dr Murrison. Although there is truth in the comment that FGW have other pressing priorities, it seems that the very negative appearance of the report in the paper is an oversimplification to the extent of it being a distortion of the real position.
