Our meetings at the tail end of last year in November proved the desire for an ongoing Melksham Transport User Group, and within a friendly environment in which other groups and organisations see the value in what we plan and want to partner / work alongside.

Committee meetings are scheduled for the 3rd Thursday in alternate months - starting 16th January.  Plus four public meetings and four newsletters a year, and more planned.  More to be added at https://www.mtug.org.uk - probably after the first new committee meeting

It happened for me, too, but now seems to be working again.

William Huskisson MP▸ (Member of Parliament, or Mile Post (a method of measuring the railway in miles and chains from a starting point - usually London), depending on context) was the first person to be killed by a train while crossing the tracks, in 1830.  Many more have died in the same way since then.  Don't take a chance: Stop, Look, Listen.

"Level crossings are safe, unless they are used in an unsafe manner."  Discuss.

I restarted services on the backroom server at about that time and I suspect that caused the error - "Bad Gateway" is when one machine can't properly reach another.

It happened for me, too, but now seems to be working again.

Looking at yesterday's logs, that happened with one access in just under two thousand and mostly in a single short period. Total traffic remains high with search engine indexing - mainly Google - a factor of 10 times higher than it was in December.  I do not intend to throttle this back in the short term, but I am keeping an eye on things

At last night's committee meeting, we took the decision to postpone the Melksham Transport User Group meeting until after the local elections which take place on 1st May.   The meeting will now take place on 13th May.
