I understand that First announced yesterday that they will withdraw the 237 bus (Melksham - Holt - Trowbridge) from 10th May. It will be very interesting to see if ...
a) The service really goes
b) It is bought back from First
c) It is bought back from another operator
This is NOT the main 234 service that runs from Chippenham via Melksham and Trowbridge to Frome via Seminsgton, nor is it the X34 Faresaver that runs Chippenham - Melksham - Trowbridge. Perhaps it would be sensible for the faresavet to go via Holt, but too often sense seems to be missing!

............or re-open Holt station and improve the rail service along the lines already suggested!  |

Interstingly, I have received a letter from First telling of their pulling out of the service, but it makes no mention of any possibility of the service being run by another operator. Knowing the County Council's target of having x% of the population within y hundred yards of a bus stop, I am not surprised that there's going to be someone else serving Broughton Gifford, Holt and Staverton ... does anyone know whom that might be? As this was a 'partially subsidised' service, does anyone know if Wiltshire Council has ended up (a) paying more or (b) making a saving?
