Title: Relief for West Wilts commuters

Looks like the additional 150's will finally be having an impact.  ;D ;D ;D

The 06.40 off WEY is normally full and standing leaving Trowbridge at 08.22 and has been for a long long time.

Hi, Tramway.   Yes indeed - good to have less overcrowding on the 08:22 from Trowbridge.  Does it thin out at Bath, or has it been just as overcrowded all the way to Bristol?

Not a great deal of room left on the roof from Bath, which is why I think the Chronicle and the BBC Bristol pages have picked up on it. Unless the Bristol/Bath press have better informants in First than our local press.  ;)

Can we look forward to similar coverage from the Wiltshire Times at some point I wonder, bit embarrassing they seem to have missed a good news day.  :-\

After all the good noises from your thread regarding Wiltshire Council supporting rail, maybe a word in someones ear may be appropriate.
