Martin has just left.    He's been here in Melksham, attending a course that I ran yesterday and today.

He left by car; that's the norm these days - but it wasn't always the case.   Back in 2004, 2005 and 2006, some 40% of our customers arrived in Melksham by train at the start of their course, and left  by train at the end - but these days, there's no 17:11 train for him to travel on - he would have had to wait a further 2 and a half hours.   And on the first morning, there is no 09:05 arrival - he would have had to be here 2.5 hours earlier (excpet that the earlier train is SO early it has no conncetions).

What a shame - a railway line, a person wanting to use the railway line, but no train at all at the right time.   And it doesn't only effect our business, it effects other businesses too.  People come to West Wiltshire from far and wide .... here's a map of (web) visitors to our site showing where in the UK they came from yesterday.



There is a case - a need - to provide a service to West Wilts towns including Melksham ... for the prosperity of Melksham and Wiltshire as a wider whole.
