For any North and West Wilts and Swindon Readers

Can I ask you, please, to write by email or fax to your MP (Anne Snelgrove in Swindon, James Gray in Chippenham, Michael Ancram for Melksham and Andrew Murrison for Trowbridge, Westbury, Dilton March and Warminster) and encourage them to attend the debate in parliament on Tuesday - on the subject of GREAT WESTERN FRANCHISE. This might be the last realistic chance to get changes to the draft timetable that withdraws all through trains on the Swindon to Salisbury line, and replaces them with a minimal service under which line usage would wither. Some 40% of our customers arrive by this train at Melksham

There's a sample here - the letter I have written to my own MP, and more general notes on the proposals here

If you're one of our many customers who doesn't live in the area but has come to Melksham by train in the past, perhaps you could help too be emailing one of the MPs listed above or your own. Even if they reply "not my constituent" to you, at least you have raised the visibility of this issue with them. Thanks!
