Spotted in Cheltenham on Saturday as we were on the way to Hereford.

Here is the SWT^▸ (South West Trains) unit in what is currently First monopoly territory this morning ...



FGW^▸ (First Great Western) has depots at Fratton and Bristol ... and SWT at Salisbury.  There would seem to be a degree of sense in the longer term in having services which originate in Wiltshire served from Salisbury.

FGW also have a sizeable traincrew depot at Westbury, also in Wiltshire. There is also space at Westbury to build a small depot capable of fuelling / FPX should the need arise. No requirement for Salisbury (which will probably be fully stretched when the Waterloo - Exeter goes hourly in December) involvement in the longer term on current FGW operated routes.

... And the cyclist in your pic commutes from Taunton - Melksham everyday by train and bike! [I know 'cos I work at the same place!].
