We had put the bus "stuff" at the start so that delegates coming on the TransWilts train (08:36 from Swindon) will catch all the bus stuff.

Passengers from Swindon and Chippenham travelling via the TransWilts both ways should note that day return tickets from your starting station to Warminster, and from Warminster to Salisbury, is a lower cost option than a period return through fare.

Coffee Shop members all very welcome indeed ... please send me a message or let me know in some other way if you're coming

Thanks, grahame, but unfortunately I'm working this Saturday.

I'd have loved to be there, though, to hear and see more about the proposed Melksham extension!

We understand that Nigel Harris has been admitted to hospital - "Nothing Life Threatenting" - and we wish him a speedy recovery. Rather than postpone the event at the 59th minutes of the 11th hour, Question time will continue with Christial Wolmar and Paul Johnson - former chair of the Westinghouse / Knorr Bremse, of the Rail Industry association and on the Swindon and Wiltshire Local Enterprise Partnership (LEP^» (Local Enterprise Partnership - about)). Paul's chair of the TransWilts CIC^▸ (Community Interest Company ) and will be telling you earlier in the day about progress at Wilton and Corsham, and other TransWilts projects he's leading on.
