Very familiar and depressing.

A visitor arriving with his cycle on the train yesterday morning couldn't get all the way into Melksham and had to cycle 6 miles down a busy major road to get here.  Needless to say, he wasn't particularly early nor particularly fresh when he got to the town, and I'm sure the memory of reaching a now-awkward spot like Melksham will remain with him.
