Recommended service - hourly, according to the GWRUS. Let's work towards that service and towards ensuring all services are used.

Wiltshire Council's Westbury - Swindon rail study
« on: March 17, 2009, 06:34:10 AM »

The chance of a half decent TransWilts service running from last December was bascially lost - as far as I can tell - when Wiltshire Council decided to do a further study rather than provide real support to the service for which a TIMETABLE WAS ALREADY AGREED, and for which A TRAIN WAS SOURCED and for which STAFF WERE AVAILABLE and I understand that there was even MATCHING FINANCE available from the DfT.

Things had gone very quiet indeed from Wiltshire on this subject - I had heard nothing on the 'strand' since lasy May - so I sent them a chaser letter to ask how they were getting on, bearing in mind that work for this coming December needs to be concluded fairly soon.   Here is their reply (sorry it's a graphic - the letter came by snail mail)
