Westinghouse and others come to Melksham

The Westinghouse company has just moved hundreds of staff to Melksham (from Chippenham).

Note that the visitors are unlikely to wish to use the "commuter train" to Swindon in the morning and back in the evening; their traffic will be on the other services.
