As a local input, very welcome I suspect.  As a job for volunteers, I suspect not.

I was thinking more along the lines of persuading those who oppose the station footbridge being altered, to allow the electrification to be extend onwards westwards......

I'm not sure that anybody is opposing the alterations to the footbridge (I am on the committe of FOCS so I should know if someone has)

As understand it, it is simply a case of not worth spending the money on it until electrification is authorised through to Bath
