Changes (and no changes) at Melksham bus stops  I'm delighted to see a new bus stop - and with a half hourly service by the "town bus" - route 14 - at the south (Snowberry Lane) end of the new East Melksham Development. Good news - for the time to provide the new bus service is at the time that new people are moving to Melksham - before they find they have moved to a community where they need a car and have to go out and buy (another) one.Just over a week to the opening of the new Asda store (Monday 23rd) and I'll be very interested to learn about the timetable / schedule of their connecting bus (required as part of their planning permission) - I'll follow up here as I get the information. On some aspects, transport's steps forward seem so slow. I walk up the road from the hotel to home yesterday - through the 'burbs of Melksham and past four bus stops. It's most disappointing to find that one has no information at all available about services, two others only have a timetable for one of a number of routes calling there representing a minority of the services calling there, and the final stop only shows a timetable of 2008 vintage, and then from one route which changed beyond recognition last year. Oh - and the bus stop in Melksham's town centre still shows last year's train timetable. I've nagged and got it updated in the past. Wouldn't you think it was in the interests of service providers to go along their routes every so often and make sure that data was complete and up to date?
