Dilton Marsh
I was up and out early this morning - to visit the station at Dilton Marsh where commuter trains were slashed last December (but not half as much as had been planned) and are threatened again from this December.
![]() Now I'm not a poet, and I feel that the anachronisms that John Betjamin describes would be hard ON THEIR OWN to justify a station. But I sure wish he was still around to be on the team. Perhaps his ghost is - perhaps we may yet snatch a victory once again from the jaws of defeat. I've put up more pictures on a Dilton Marsh page and I'll be supporting their cause - the same as ours across Wiltshire - for an appropriate train service. Actually their morning service is quite good. But in the evening it is less than useful and an out-and-back service is only as strong as its weakest link. And my spies tell ne to look out for a 2/3 cut of southbound services in December. That fisherman will have to wait until 22:01 to get back from Westbury if he doesn't make it by 15:29 ... together with all the would-be-commuters in those houses. Of course, they would end up driving, wouldn't they? (written 2007-03-08 15:31:51) Associated topics are indexed under M202 - Well House Manor - West Wiltshire
