After a couple of very pleasant officer's meetings of MRUG» (Melksham Rail User Group - site), we're setting an exciting agenda for next year.    For our meeting on 28th November, the following are proposed for the main agenda:
* An introduction from Sophie Martin, the new TransWilts Community Rail Officer
* An update on capacity and timetable studies
* A discussion (and a decision) on applying to ACoRP (Association of Community Rail Partnerships) to join as a friends group
* Final planning for Santa on 9th December
* Early plans for the remembrance day out for John Money (28.4.2019)

The Melksham Station Hub (CCIF (Customer and Communities Improvement Fund) bid), more details of the “TransWilts Ambassador” role which TransWilts will shortly be introducing, buses to and from the station, and suggestions for adoption of the station and classic 'friend's work' now that the platform extension building works have been completed will - no doubt - all come up too.  Many of those will be forming the basis of planning forward for 2019, which we really hope will be better for service reliability so that we can start to grow passenger numbers and again become one of the fastest growing stations in England!
