Answering point made on the more "robust" Facebook group of our town - on my local blog at https://grahamellis.uk/blog1447.html

* Why can't IETs▸ (Intercity Express Train - replacement for HSTs (manufactured by Hitachi in Kobe, Japan)) stop when they pass through?
* Is Go-op a good thing?
* Why are so many trains cancelled and with so much more impact than elsewhere?
* Will there be an improved timetable after the Westbury works?

And an opportunity for me to comment on my plans forward from next Spring too.
