My travels took me to Melksham today. Must say that the number of people using the station seems impressive with plenty getting off when I arrived and even more boarding on the return journey. Looks like the platform extension is money well spent.
I arrived back at 20:32 tonight ... last train of the day, and just about the quietest on most days. We looked for an average of 20 passengers using all the trains as our hurdle for "success" in three years ... this quietest train tonight had 30 users ... 9 of whom got off and one got on at Melksham - so that's
30/10 on our old measuring system. Chatting with the train manager, she was saying it's getting very busy and confirmed that today seemed very much so - now that the engineering bus replacements are almost over (just the 12 days of Christmas come), and the train has a greater capacity, or ceiling has been lifted.
Thank you for visiting Melksham ... hope your trip fulfilled whatever it was you came for.
