Here are the departures from Melksham:



* Change at Chippenham or Trowbridge for Bristol and beyond

* Change at Swindon for Reading and London.
* Also change at Swindon for Gloucester, Cheltenham
* Also change at Swindon for South Wales

* Change at Westbury for Taunton, Exeter and beyond.

Doubt there will be any more RMT (National Union of Rail, Maritime & Transport Workers) in January. Striking members have sacrificed 4 days pay from next pay packet & won’t want to lose any more this month. So early February would be my guess, or at least after whatever the cut off date is for end-month pay

Update at http://www.mtug.org.uk/summer2023.html showing Spring and Summer timetables side by side (or rather one above the other) for comparison, and describing continuing station facilities.
