Railway train service, Melksham station
I never cease to be amazed at how little people know of the public transport that's available on their own doorstep.
* Melksham station closed in the 1960s. That seems to be pretty well know locally.
* It reopened in the 1980s, with a minimal service. Some people know this.
* In 2001, the service to Melksham Station was increased, and there are 10 trains every weekday. WHY OH WHY does this seem like a secret?
I'm not exactly setting off on a crusade to say "use your trains", but ... please do.
In the current timetable:
trains leave Melksham for Swindon via Chippenham at 05:52, 07:45, 13:25, 17:02 and 21:33.
(These trains originate from Frome / Westbury / Salisbury / Southampton)
trains arrive at Melksham from Swindon (via Chippenham) at 06:56, 09:12, 14:49, 18:09 and 22:37
(These trains carry on to Trowbridge / Westbury / Salisbury / Southampton)
Train times vary at the weekend - the first service does not run on Saturdays, and neither of the first two runs on Sunday.
If you're coming on a public course with Well House Consultants, let us know ahead of time and we can collect you from the station; there's a connection out of the 07:45 from Paddington at Swindon into the train that arrives at 09:12, and if you return on the 17:02 you'll get to Paddington for 18:40 (written 2004-12-17 08:58:23)
