Background
Until July 2005, I knew little about trains. Then I saw a letter in the local paper telling me that the consultation about services to Melksham from the end of the following year had passed, and we were to loose most of our services. I choose my battles carefully, but this was one that I couldn't let pass me by - it seemed unfair an nonsensical, and since that time I've got myself involved and a now know a bity more on the subject than the average "Joe Public".
