Santa Special!   1st December (Melksham Railway Developement Group).   At least half a dozen names that  you'll have come across will be there.

09:22 Melksham - 09:50 Swindon
15:19 Swindon - 15:44 Melksham

Santa will be joining the train at Kemble. His elves (a.k.a. Sion and Graham) travelling up from Swindon at 14:11, Kemble from 14:25 to 14:33, back in to Swindon on the same train that carries on to Melksham at 14:48.


33 children booked ... and looks like (no final numbers yet) there will be 40 to 50 adults in the group - not all on "Santa tickets" and many of the extras will be old friends.  I'm going to suggest that we might all meet up for an early lunch somewhere near the station in Swindon - anoyone have any venue ideas?   Final decision can be made on the train on the way up, or if you arrive another way, nab me as I get off the train
