http://www.gazetteandherald.co.uk/news/headlines/9036531.Trial_for_trans_Wiltshire_rail_service/Campaigners for a Trans-Wiltshire rail are running a trial service this summer in partnership with First Great Western. A southern service will operate between Swindon and Weymouth via Chippenham, Melksham and Trowbridge. A northern service will operate between Westbury and Swindon via Trowbridge and Melksham connecting at Swindon to London. The ^3,500 cost is being sponsored by the Wessex Association of Chambers of Commerce, Visit Wiltshire, Invensys Rail, Knorr-Bremse Rail Systems, Well House (Melksham) and the Trans Wilts Community Rail Partnership. The service will operate on July 3, 17, 24, 31 and August 7, 14, 21 and 28. Trans Wilts Community Rail Partnership chief executive Mike Williams said: ^We hope it will enable families to rediscover the train and access Wiltshire^s countryside attractions or visit the seaside without the need for a car.^ The timetable and fares are available at www.transwiltsrail.org.uk

Try clicking on the deatinations on the right of the screen, particulary melksham and you will get a page about that town etc together with its current rail services. There is a link which shows you the proposed timetable which opens as a PDF document.

Nope, it's not you. The web site that is published in the article is not one which is looked after by the Community Rail Partnership team. I have, however, managed to get a couple of lines in the front page of the site within the last few minutes to provide links to preliminary data. |

OK ... that's a link to the March proposals for the timetable to run from December. The Summer Sunday is (now  ) linked from the front page. |

Don't know ... it's a generally available service train, but it may be too late in the day ... |

I don't see what you're getting at?
Do a screenshot of what you think is wrong.

Okay see what you mean now we both looking at the same timetable.
Will report it to publications team, although obviously with printed ones, can't do much now, but they can probably update the online copy.
