Thank you for posting that, colleague Red Squirrel.

I have every intention of attending - domestic family commitments permitting.  Lips sealed

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.

Will be there if I can - indeed celebrating the return of a decent train service to Melksham for the first time this year.   Work remains to be done in getting efficiently around the WECA» (West of England Mayoral Combined Authority - about) / Wessex area (Western Gateway) ... but at least it's possible to attend without a car

I may well attend if I can.

Out of interest, can you join at the meeting and participate in votes? I haven't been a FoSBR» (Friends of Suburban Bristol Railways - site) member since moving away from Bristol many years ago, but would be happy to join again.

A good question - and an excellent answer!  I, too, would like to rejoin on the night.  Wink
