Title: Travel and Transport groups relating to Wiltshire Post by: grahame on June 12, 2012, 18:20:55 I have been asked if anyone has a list of user and / or transport groups relating to Wiltshire. Who do I know of?
Bedwyn Trains Group - http://www.bedwyntrains.org.uk/ Melksham Railway Development Group - http://www.mrdg.org.uk West Wilts Rail User Group http://www.wwrug.org.uk TransWilts CRP - http://atrebatia.info Heart of Wessex CRP - http://www.heartofwessex.org.uk/ More Train Less Strain - http://www.moretrainlessstrain.co.uk/ Three Rivers CRP - http://www.threeriversrail.com/ Kennet Passengers - http://wiltshireandbeyond.co.uk/about_us.shtml Corsham Station Campaign First Great Western Customer Representative Forum South Hampshire Rail Users Group (comes into area) - http://www.shrug.info/ Railfuture - Wessex Branch - http://www.railfuture.org.uk/tiki-index.php?page=Wessex+Branch Railfuture - Severnside Branch - http://www.railfuture.org.uk/tiki-index.php?page=Severnside%20Branch Bath Bus User Group - http://bath-bus-users.org.uk/ See also CBT (Campaign for Better Transport) list at http://bettertransport.org.uk/local/directory?filter0=47&filter1=**ALL** and bus user groups - http://www.bususers.org/groups.html Can anyone help me add to this list?

1. http://www.corridor-alliance.co.uk/ - still a very active and well informed group indeed even though the link I have looks a bit stale; regular meetings (you just missed one on 14th June), and I can put you in touch is need be. Huge respect for A36/A350 Corridor Alliance and White Horse Alliance Members. 2. http://www.wiltshire.gov.uk/wiltshireassembly/wiltshireassemblytransport.htm - Wiltshire Transport Alliance of the Wiltshire family of partnerships. I tried to email the contact given over the weekend, but it bounced. Main [council] web page contact form also broken over the weekend - http://www.wellho.net/pix/wiltserr.jpg (http://www.wellho.net/pix/wiltserr.jpg) so I can't provide much more on this one. I was advised (on Friday) that the group is meeting "sometime next week" and again I can put people in touch if need be. Apparently it's "invitation only" though. Have I really found a near-complete list? Does anyone have anything they can add? A couple of the organisations on my original list are questionable as to whether they should be included - concerns include whether Wiltshire is just on the edge of their main territory rather than being core to them, and whether they're still active. I have - intentionally - includes those in the "don't know" categories, but eliminated past groups that have rolled into others.

I have left out wide area organisations from my original list - but the following may be worth a look: * TravelWatch SouthWest * Passenger Focus * Campaign for Better Transport * Sustrans * Inland Waterways Association * Rambler's Association This page is printed from the "Coffee Shop" forum at http://gwr.passenger.chat which is provided by a customer of Great Western Railway.
