Title: Melksham extended platform in use!
Post by: grahame on July 14, 2018, 09:57:32
Some pictures from this morning - the 08:38 to Swindon and the 09:02 calling at Melksham.

No longer single door (though you will see old habits dieing hard in some pictures) and still tidying up work to be completed, but it's in use!

Good to see a steady flow of outbound passengers - Bristol and London day trips for the most part; no-one headed to Weymouth from Melksham because there's no suitable train back for a day trip, but I understand a good load headed to the seaside from Swindon / Chippenham - returning via Bath Spa.
