Although I've not seen it myself yet I've heard that something about the trans wilts service is being broadcast on the local news today so it may be worth watching one of the bulletins when you can.

Yes, HTV / ITV West news at 6 p.m. tonight. Possibly MAJOR featuing of Melksham.   I was out with the film crew from 07:30 until 10:00.

I should be able to watch, but if anyone has a video recorder ....

Here's a link to a small online article:

Click on West, then news

I am hoping to get home in time to record it.  I have had a call from someone who has seen it already so it must have been broadcast on the lunchtime bulletin as well.

I managed to record it onto DVD and watched it later.  Looks like you had to dodge some shocking weather there Graham!  I am happy to download the program onto my PC and email or burn a copy if anyone would like to see it.

24 hours later, my jacket is nearly dry.   Yes, might be sensible to grab a copy "for posterity" ...

Nick, I have it on DVD now ... my son caught it and handed me a copy when he saw me, on the basis that he was sure I would want a copy and didn't have one ;-)

I am minded to call a "New Year, new look forward" get together one eveing in the new year - need to be careful not to compete with WWRUG or MRDG though - and we could have the DVD around as a very minor part of the events.   Also wondering whether to make the site / forum known and available to West Wilts to Bath / Bristol folks and looking at co-ordination of the issuess that everyone's having with the ex-Wessex services (trains operates by 143 / 150 / 153 / 158 units) from Cardiff / Bristol by First.   Probably worth another thread - but - thoughts??

A New Year get together would be a good idea.  While I get dismayed at some of the things that are happening on the railways I do find it very heartening when I meet fellow board members and others who share the same views on what we are trying to achieve.  It might also be a good idea to make the board made to the Bath and Bristol and West Wilts folks and perhaps have a thread or area where the current problems they are experiencing could be discussed and logged, otherwise it might all get forgotton about in a couple of months if they do desert the services!
