Starting a new thread for a few numbers.   Counting passengers is getting much harder these days with longer trains and more passengers!

17:53 Chippenham to Melksham last night ... 99 passengers into Melksham, 44 off and 4 on - 103/48

Oh yes - this is a quiet week (not!) because of Easter  Grin

I had arrived into Chippenham on a 5 car train from Bristol, connected onto a 3 car train headed for Westbury.   We're starting to get a lot more balanced than we used to be!
