Swindon - Chippenham - Melksham - Trowbridge - Westbury train service

When I talk on a subject, I prefer to do so from a strength of knowledge. So, as I'm campaigning for the continuation of the our train at its current level, Lisa and I went down to the local station at Melksham yesterday to see how much traffic there was on a Sunday afternoon. And ... on something of a whim ... we took the train up to Swindon. What a fabulously useful afternoon!


This picture's one that Lisa took from the threatened train at Swindon as it waited to leave on its return journey to Chippenham, Melksham, Trowbridge, Westbury, Warminster, Salisbury, Romsey and Southamton. Does it just show - very graphically ... How the train gets right to the town centre with no having to queue through the traffic ... how convenient the train is for longer distance travel with cross-platform interchange to other lines ... how convenient it is with luggage - look at those luggage carts all to hand.



The train was much busier than I had dared hope - details - and when we got back Lisa and I commented to each other "goodness - we've been to Swindon and back and hardly feel that we've left Melksham" - that's how efficient the train is!
