From 2005 through 2008, I wrote a daily blog specific to the Save the Train campaign and in tidying up documents and saving for the future, I have archives a complete set of posts into the Coffee Shop archive at http://www.firstgreatwestern.info/mirror/stt_blog_archive.pdf - and that is a whitelisted document so it's available there to everyone.

Various generations of home pages for Save the Train are as follows:
http://www.firstgreatwestern.info/mirror/stt_wa_001.pdf - Save the train, final front page - Mar 2010
http://www.firstgreatwestern.info/mirror/stt_wa_002.pdf - Save the train, front page to Mar 2010 - Mar 2009
http://www.firstgreatwestern.info/mirror/stt_wa_003.pdf - Save the train, very early front page - Oct 2004
http://www.firstgreatwestern.info/mirror/stt_wa_004.pdf - Save the train, early front page - Nov 2005
http://www.firstgreatwestern.info/mirror/stt_wa_006.pdf - Save the train, our case in a letter - 2 Oct 2005
http://www.firstgreatwestern.info/mirror/stt_wa_007.pdf - Save the train, ORR» (Office of Rail and Road, formerly Office of Rail Regulation - about) letter giving us data - Jan 2006
http://www.firstgreatwestern.info/mirror/stt_wa_008.pdf - Save the train, about the web site person - Feb 2006
http://www.firstgreatwestern.info/mirror/stt_wa_009.pdf - Save the train, case for a service above spec - 21 Apr 2006

By mirroring the pages on The Coffee Shop, we have made them searchable in the document mirror search at http://www.firstgreatwester.info/mirror to come up in context with other documents we hold from other sources.

From 2005 through 2008, I wrote a daily blog specific to the Save the Train campaign and in tidying up documents and saving for the future, I have archives a complete set of posts into the Coffee Shop archive ...

And I moved on from that specialist blog to "The Horse's Mouth" of around 4,500 articles over a dozen years. I have  been archiving transport-relevant ones to the Coffee Shop mirror.
 
http://www.firstgreatwestern.info/mirror/Z501.pdf - Public Transport, Rail - 2006 to 2018
http://www.firstgreatwestern.info/mirror/Z511.pdf - Public Transport, Road - 2006 to 2016
http://www.firstgreatwestern.info/mirror/Z531.pdf - Public Transport, Walk and Cycle - 2008 to 2013

Amazing to look back at all that writing, and how much remains relevant today too, and to avoid flooding you, I have just listed 3 of the 9 archive files uploaded. The ones done today are whitelisted to be available in public as well as to members, and the are all in the document search system too - search for Warminster, just for example, at http://www.firstgreatwestern.info/mirror/?search=Warminster and you'll find a wide variety of documents located ranging from my blog articles to posters, timetables, DfT» (Department for Transport - about) service level commitment and consultant's reports on the future of rail in Wiltshire.
