We're just 12 signatures away from a full 300...it seems to have stabilised at this number, it's not going any further...

I don't recall setting a 300 target  Wink

Seriously, there's always a danger of being driven by numbers.   I am much more concerned at having good quality support that understands the cause that just lots of names. Have you noticed that three quarters of the people who have signed live in Wiltshire, with most of the rest in nearby counties?   And there are some other impressive stats along these lines which I'll be correlating at the weekend.

In answer to the multiple choice question "Do you travel in or through Wiltshire" we have registered the following answers thus far:

139 - Most days
65 - Most weeks
74 - from time to time
46 - only occasionally
4 - Rather not say
2 - never

The question was not worded to ask whether people use the "TransWilts" because the current service is so poor that it's useless to all but a tiny minority who happen to want to travel at the times it runs. And it did not ask "would you use" as we preferred to look at current habits rather than what people think they might do.

You will note that the numbers add up to rather more than current signatories; that is because I have included signups that have not yet been confirmed by email response in the statistic above.
