What would the extra trains from Melksham mean to your journey?
Archive - Originally posted on "The Horse's Mouth" - 2013-09-15 17:18:08 - Graham EllisI have been asked what travel opportunities from Melksham the proposed additional service could provide. Using the times now published n the First Great Western site, I offer you the following (provisional?) departures from Melksham, Mondays to Fridays except bank holidays on and from Monday 9th December. I have added return journeys at the bottom
On Saturday it is proposed to run a similar number of trains, but the times will differ. On Sunday, there will be about half the trains with only a single train each way in the morning.
[[Note - see [here] if your browser cuts off the right hand side of the table. A service that's too wide to display on a single blog post is a new problem to me ;-) ]]

Footnote added later. The format above was an experiment - to see if this is a good way to present the timetable data for Melksham. Early indications is that it is "unreadable" to others, and I'll be looking for an alternative presentation. Research can be just as important in saying what not to do as in what to do! I'm leaving the post here just incase anyone else has a mind like mine that finds it useful!
