If I have got my head around how the site works, this is my introduction message. I hope it is in the right place to get things started. Wheelslide comes from my past life in the railway brakes business. I spent most of my working life in Wiltshire and travelling -a lot of the time on far east metro projects. Nominally retired, I have kept my interest in Wiltshire and rail active with involvement in TransWilts and latterly as Chair of TW CIC^▸ . My admiration for the achievements, knowledge and commitment of the members and this forum grows the more I get involved, I felt it was time I registered. The transwilts.org web site is being used as a policy/campaigning public community site for public transport for a whole in Wiltshire, both bus and rail. It provides a public interface for TransWilts. The rail Network2020 launch hopefully encapsulates the Wiltshire wide rail ambitions and we are now starting to work on the bus side. I would particularly like the news, service alerts and events pages to be up to date, input is welcome. A key goal is to get a strong 'factual and informed' single Wiltshire voice with our stakeholder partners, not least FGW^▸ . The use of surveys via the site adds to our ability to give informed comment.
Hope this is a helpful first intro.

Welcome to the forum, Paul ... please feel free to quote any of my "stuff" on the TransWilts page (others, obviously, with appropriate permission and credits). And I'll paste stuff onto that site once I've been trained Wink

.

For other readers, the TransWilts site Paul refers to is at http://www.transwilts.org - and there are currently Wilton and Wiltshire (general) travel surveys there. The Corsham survey was completed with over 700 responses (more than twice the number needed for it to be statistically significant) - results posted on the site.
