Well, if we're now allowed 'scattergun' responses: 41 and 43 are Yeovil Pen Mill.  |

Guesses that were wrong in the last batch:
61 ... Not Parkway
65 ... Far too vague
82 ... tough one - like the Kew idea - And Acorn close. It is a sort of arboterum, but much closer to my home
87 ... is NOT Melksham (our track is in boootiful order!)
I'm not asking any "how"s ... at least until we've completed all the answers. I can think of several ideas - these aren't the world's hardest places to find out about in many cases.
Edit - Purple answers - added in later

A few more:
39 is a rather wet Trowbridge
55 Melksham
71 Chester? If only Melksham had a service like that to boast about...

Yes, I remain convinced that my earlier suggestion that 39 is Trowbridge is right - and 46 is also Trowbridge, I think.
And 36 is Bristol Temple Meads.

Yes - those are all correct. Sorry I missed your earlier '39' in the review, Chris. Brucey ... Much as I would love a service like the Chester to Liverpool line has on the TransWilts, I think it would be hard to justify until around 2019  ... and then only if the current growth continues and / or we seriously grasp an integrated public transport system. If - across the region - people could walk out of their homes and within 300 yards jump on public transport that was so frequent that they didn't have to bother to check the timetable, with good interchanges so that they could reach within 300 yards of any other home / business / school / cinema / white horse, stone circle / school, then you would find it used, I think! But that's radical - as a first step, I would settle for just a tenth of the Chester service - 6 round trips, at good times, over a 15 hour period. |
