Tuesday, 18th October will be Kiss and Ride day at Melksham Station


In the two months since I read that the train service to Melksham was to be slashed, we've gone from being users of the railway service to people who are stopped in the street and asked about the train service, and from being somewhat unknown in Melksham (since most of our business comes from outside) to having our Save the Train handout dropped through every front door in the town.

What's this about "Kiss and Ride". It's a publicity event for the train service in Melksham - encouraging commuters to get their partners to drop them off at the station and then for them to take the car into Chippenham, Swindon, Trwobridge or Westbury.
