Do you want a better train service to Swindon?

Launch of TransWilts Community Rail Partnership on Friday.

A meeting this coming Friday at Bridge House Trowbridge at 7.30pm will launch the TransWilts Community Rail Partnership.

The TransWilts line links the five largest towns in Wiltshire - Swindon, Salisbury, Chippenham, Trowbridge and Melksham. After years of organising, and lobbying councils and government departments, the campaign is poised for a breakthrough. Research shows the demand is there and investment in extra trains and improved stations would pay off. This ghost railway could become a transport artery for the whole county, carrying several hundred commuters to work and back each day and taking cars off the A36, A350, A303 and other roads.

For more information click here or phone Graham Ellis on 01225 708225.

Services are currently sparse - just 2 trains each way a day on the Chippenham to Trowbridge section - but research shows that an hourly service is justified.
