I'm still suprised the kids haven't used the rocks around the "Oldfield Park" to throw at trains though!

Dear Mr Ellis

Thank you for your email of xxxxxxxxxxxx.

We are currently improving many of our stations, and are investing ^40 million doing so. Melksham is not currently undergoing any refurbishment, but we hope to do so in the future.

Thank you once again for contacting First Great Western.

Yours sincerely
