Yep ... nice to see the confirmation of paths on the line.  Come future years when there's an appropriate TransWilts service running, we'll happily give way to the Glastonbury Expresses to run in the paths if they serve the three intermediate stations, with a Westbury -> Salisbury shuttle connection, perhaps.  Grin

Don't think you'd be quite so happy to give up local trains of a Monday morning when they're all trying to get home covered in mud...

I did that once! After a couple of changes started to wonder why everyone was giving us dirty looks. Realised that we were now the only people on the train covered in mud and in fact it's not normal to be covered in mud. Back to reality with a bump.
