TransWilts train - what YOU can do to help
Please let people know you want the service back. Let them know it will continue to grow. Let them know how much it matters to YOU. Let them know that it was growing and will do again.

Who are the key players? A key and complex question - there are a very large number of players involved, and people point at each other. But here are the people who have influence and should be lobbied!

Andrew Nock - responsible for negotiations on the ground

First Great Western
Alison Forster, their MD
Andrew Griffiths, Regional Manager covering the line

Wiltshire County Council.
George Batten, Director of environmental services
