We would love to see supporters over this weekend ... this is going round by email, looking to fill a few gaps and LOVE to see you on the trains ... let me know when / if you can make it today, and I'll get you added to our list. Newcomers to be counting welcomed, and will be teamed up with an experienced person.   Good chance to chat too  Cheesy

This weekend on the TransWilts ... we're handing out new timetables and taking passenger counts.   We've got Santa on the train too on Sunday, and on Monday we're celebrating the completion of the first two years of the improved trial service.

Last night, Santa's elves met and wrapped presents for Sunday .. and arranged much of the weekend cover - but we could do with a little more help on some trains.

Would you be available at some time over the three days to take a trip or two?  If you can let me in the next 24 hours, that would be fantastic. Just a few hours would be great - choose your time and / or event ... "earlies" and "lates" especially welcome, and I can set up a trip from your home station and arrange an authority to travel, authorisation letter, briefing sheet, count sheet, etc.  We are NOT handing out of collecting surveys on this occassion, but would appreciate notes / comments / feedback.

Look forward to hearing if you can help ;-) ... if you're tied up - no problem, and THANK YOU for your ongoing support. 

P.S.   If you're new to this you would be very welcome ... we're planning to have an experienced counter on every train, but extra help is very much needed and appreciated and the trains are getting rather busier, and we would love to have newcomers join us and learn the ropes!
