Title: At a town the size of Melksham Post by: grahame on August 13, 2023, 19:45:25 I live in Melksham - been looking around at what other town have. From yesterday http://grahamellis.uk/blog955.html
(http://www.wellho.net/pix/visifor1.jpg) In this example you'll notice how (or I can tell you): • the platform backs out onto an active circle • there are shops, coffee houses and restaurants with residences above • there is and a wide pedestrianised walkway to the Town Square and attractions • there's a local bus waiting at the station • bridge over the railway to houses across the line • station building with customer support staff at busy times • trains were calling hourly in each direction, same time in each hour ("clock-face") • trains are electric and call on the way from London to the seaside • there were people of all sorts out enjoying themselves • I heard so many tongues being spoken - only some I could recognise • there's cinema, a performance and probably much more I don't know • there are several specialist museums • population of this market town is just over 20,000 Title: Re: At a town the size of Melksham Post by: JayMac on August 13, 2023, 20:06:00 1.
