Perhaps we could focus on one re-opening scheme each week or month at the top of the website, thereby giving other deserved causes publicity as well as Melksham (which I DO thoroughly support).
For example: Tavistock, Okehampton, Newquay re-route, Cotswold line re-doubling, etc, etc.
....just a thought!
Yes, indeed. Very happy to keep the site moving and to highlight causes rather than have it go plain and turgid. And if particular issues are liekly to be "hot" in the coming month, then they're probably good ones to mention. The TransWilts (Melksham is only a quarter of the traffic - it just happens to have been worst hit by the cuts!) is at a crucial stage for the next few weeks ... What is the 'theme' going to be this month then? |

Suggestions please?
First subject to get two posts and I'll put up something about it to the best of my resources (subject to it being relevant to rail and this wedge of the UK▸ !)

Yeh, I'm with IanL, the Cotswold redoubling is relevant at the moment so it should be put up.

Yes. It is critical that the ORR» see sense.
Once the redoubling is started, is will be easier to extend it (with scheduled re-signalling etc.).

Cotswold line it will be. PLEASE can someone email me some .jpg files (or point me to some .jpgs I can use) for the purpose - this ain't my area. Note my email address is graham@wellho.net and it is vital that I have copyright clearnance on the pictures - so they must be yours, and you need to confirm in the email that I may use them here! Thanks! |

It's a new month starting tomorrow - can I cast my vote for an improved service for Melksham to be the next subject of the website banner theme, please?
My family lives in Melksham. #1 son is working in Salisbury now and the train service from Melksham is so infrequent and unreliable that he's having to drive to either Trowbridge or Westbury every day and catch a train from there (or occasionally he'll just drive all the way - although affordable older cars invariably = frequent repair bills, so the less driving involved the better it is both for my pocket as well as for the environment!)

Wasn't that the last subject?
I'd vote for Portishead, but I haven't got any pictures.

Yes it was the last subject - but as far as I can make out, the rules are simply that the first relevant subject to get two posts voting for it becomes the title of the month. I'm therefore casting my vote for whatever is nearest to my heart (and pocket!)

Makes sense to remove the Cotswold Line one now. Thanks for having it up there.

My Pleasure .... and in spite of the "TransWilts / Melksham" suggestion being in my own back yard (and campaigning aim) I'm inclinded to go with Portishead. |
