Details contained in the link below.

Note - I will generally post groups of cancelled journeys , but in the case of the Trans Wilts Line , I will make an exception and post single cancelled journeys. This is because the Trans Wilts service was reduced to 4 trains a day from December 2006 , which means that each cancelled train cuts the service by 25%.

Thanks, Lee .... you'll find that they didn't even bother to lay on a bus yesterday and passengers from Melksham had to phone up to get them to arrange a taxi.   I think I could describe the treatment given to the people of Melksham as an "insult" and a "slap in the face".

There has allways been the problem at Melksham, it was bad enough with the proper rail rep. services back 2  OctoberS
