Some towns are more equal than others
« on: April 02, 2009, 08:08:39 AM »

Five West Wiltshire Towns served by First Great Western.

Warminster, Westbury, Trowbridge, Bradford-on-Avon ... have all had major station improvements and a bigwig opening part for them. Excellent news.

Melksham has had sone new signs ... and yesterday (1st April), we got a loo!


It's not all positive news at Melksham, though.  Three years yesterday, First Great Western took over a blossoming service ... since which they have withdrawn the majority of trains.  The information point no longer works.  And I expect that the toilet is temporary / there to look after staff who are working on the line, and not really provided for customers at all ...

Please support the call for more trains ... at http://www.transwilts.org.uk/pledge.html . Thanks. The case is an excellent one, and made at links from that page

April 10th ... loo gone.   Infopoint still not working.  No signs to say that trains were different for Good Friday (but they were)

The 06:30 was retimed to 11:36
The 07:17 was retimed to 10:30
The 19:11 ran ... at 19:11
and the 19:47 was at 17:37

Those are ... err ... not small changes!
