Guests (and new members) welcome at WWRUG  ;D

Why does that site make no mention of Freshford? It's on the same line and in the same area, so can't see why it's omitted.

Freshford is in BaNES and not in Wiltshire

Well, yes and no. The boundary runs through the village but the station does appear to be just in BANES.

There is a great deal of insularity in these parts ... a frustration at times in getting travel and transport planning co-ordinated across borders such as Wiltshire (where lots of houses are being built) and BaNES (where lots of employment is being created). WWRUG, I understand, strictly mirrors the old West Wilts district, although they do have keen members from the "Weymouth end" of the Heart of Wessex,

How is that insularity being addressed by TransWilts CRP? Forgive me for asking but I've got rather lost by all the bodies making announcements, suggesting proposals, or merely flying kites.

Swindon-South Coast? Swindon-Somerset? (not just Frome).

The People's Front of Judea spring to mind!  ;D

The West Wilts Rail User Group - which this thread concerns - is a long established rail user group covering the old district of West Wiltshire which was formed on 1st April 1974 and disbanded on 1st April 2009.  The major towns (largest first) are Trowbridge, Melksham, Warminster, Westbury and Bradford-on-Avon, and the articles of association tell you that they meet in each town in a cycle.

TransWilts looks at journeys to / from / in / Wiltshire and the natural economic area - very different in so much else from WWRUG too - each has its place (and a who's who thread, but not here or now, would be a good idea!)
