Save the Train are campaigning for the return of an appropriate train service on the TransWilts line, linking the five major population centres in Wiltshire. The train would run throughout the day - Swindon, Chippenham, Melksham, Trowbridge, Westbury, Dilton Marsh, Warminster and Salisbury ... as it did when First took over on 1st April 2006!
