Title: 16th May 2018 - Community Rail in the City
Post by: grahame on April 13, 2018, 13:20:20
"Community Rail in the City" ... the day when all of us country bumpkins go to a bigger station with lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots of people rushing around, dream of our stations being that busy, and encourage people to visit their own / all / any community rail lines.

That does look a bit bigger than Melksham. Is it Trowbridge?  :D

Seriously, what, when, where? Ok, we know when, and roughly what, but where?

Pilning on a busy day.

Waterloo. Publicity and promotion for community rail all across Great Britain - a day when ACoRP co-ordinates and provides some resource too for us to work with each other and with them to say to passengers at these really big places that there are som marvellous places to go by train ...

Should the purchaser of these six like to add the final 2 to complete his / her set, they are welcome to come and visit me in Melksham.  Upon proof of travel by train to Melksham (i.e. showing me their ticket), I will give them the final two free of charge.
