Changes (and no changes) at Melksham bus stops Archive before they find they have moved to a community where they need a car and have to go out and buy (another) one.---OOO--- 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.

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.
