1  All across the Great Western territory / Introductions and chat / Hello from Wheelslide on: May 22, 2015, 10:49:49
If I have got my head around how the site works, this is my introduction message. I hope it is in the right place to get things started. Wheelslide comes from my past life in the railway brakes business. I spent most of my working life in Wiltshire and travelling -a lot of the time on far east metro projects. Nominally retired, I have kept my interest in Wiltshire and rail active with involvement in TransWilts and latterly as Chair of TW CIC» (Community Interest Company - about). My admiration for the achievements, knowledge and commitment of the members and this forum grows the more I get involved, I felt it was time I registered. The transwilts.org web site is being used as a policy/campaigning public community site for public transport for a whole in Wiltshire, both bus and rail. It provides a public interface for TransWilts. The rail Network2020 launch hopefully encapsulates the Wiltshire wide rail ambitions and we are now starting to work on the bus side. I would particularly like the news, service alerts and events pages to be up to date, input is welcome. A key goal is to get a strong 'factual and informed' single Wiltshire voice with our stakeholder partners, not least FGW (First Great Western). The use of surveys via the site adds to our ability to give informed comment.
Hope this is a helpful first intro.
Paul Johnson
