It's very hard to quantify, Nick.
If we compare to a PM's petition's site where there are just under 7000 petitions currently running, we would ALREADY be in the top 10% - petition number 689 of 6893 has just 130 signatures ... and that's after just a week of a two month "campaign"
But although we based some of the elements of the site on the P.M's "petititon" page, we're actually asking people for far more statistical information, and for email addresses through which we can contact them occasionally over the next few months. So we have a tougher sell! And we're also targetting "quality" supporters and not just seeing how many names we can collect. The aim is not only to regain the service but to retain it too, after all.
We have another meeting with two of the key players at the end of this month, as a follow up to meetings at which it was suggested that we show that further local support. I would love for us to be able to show a continued signing of the page from now until then, perhaps (on petition terms) putting us into the top 5%.

Looking back to my earlier comparison, that would put us in the most supported 5% if we were a Prime Minsiter's petition.
But that remains a poor comparison - we've specifically set ourselves a much harder task than getting "p.m. signatures", with the extra information that we're asking for, our linited timescale, and our quest for support targetted at people who actually live and travel in the area.
The 350 is significant, yes. So is the fact that over three quarters of them live in Wiltshire ... over 90% of them "close by" if you extend to "Wiltshire and nearby counties" which are also relevant when you look at rail travellers from Frome, from Bath ...
