The Battle of Templemeads - 1203/3442 Written by George Hacksaw on Wednesday, 24th January 2007 Hi everybody, Following your fantastic work on Monday, I wondered who I could send a copy of our CD that includes our song "The Battle of Templemeads" ... think when you hear it it may make you smile. Cheers, :D George Hacksaw mchacsaw0007@aol.com ;D ;D Re: The Battle of Templemeads - 1203/3548 Written by tonya on Sunday, 28th January 2007 Would love to hear it. Can I listen anywhere online? Re: The Battle of Templemeads - 1203/3552 Written by bubblecat on Sunday, 28th January 2007 I too would LOVE to hear it! Could you host it on myspace? Do you have a myspace? In fact, I have no idea how to get it to the masses! I will ask the other half who appears to be half-computer. link to index of articles |

Save the Train was the campaign to bring an approriate train service back to and through Melksham. Most big contributors are still around writing at the Coffee shop forum where new members are very welcome. The train has been saved - sort of - we have stepped back up from an unusable service to a poorish one but it's doing very well. We did that through setting up the TransWilts Community Rail Partnership. That fulfilled its early objectives; it has been taken over by local and regional government types who are now doing medium and long term work. The team from this forun can also be found at the Melksham Rail User Group (which was the Melksham Rail Development Group at the time these articles were written and we had no users. We mustn't loose sight, though, that the train service remains poor and needs our community support in marketing and campaigning to keep it going in a positive direction ... and all the more so when we're expecting to find a different normallity once we get out of the Coronavirus Pandemic and head for zero carbon via the climate crisis. Yes, it's saved ... it's now a key community facility ... the need for enhancement and the strong and near-universal local support remain, and the rail industry and goverment remain slow to move and provide the enhancements even to level us up with other towns. Please support the Melksham Rail User Group - now very much in partnership rather than protest with the rail industry and local government, including GWR, TransWilts and unitary and town councils. And please use the trains and buses, and cycle and walk when you can. -- Graham Ellis, (webmaster), February 2021 | |||
