John Ingram - chair of WWRUG, 2008-2010, RIP

I was sad to learn over the weekend of the passing of John Ingram (at the age of 90), chair of the West Wiltshire Rail Users Group from around 2008 to 2010.  John was a gentleman, and a good friend and supporter of public transport in the area.

From April 2009 -  a typical practical but positive campaigning contribution to a press release https://www.passenger.chat/r4498.html - "First Great Western have improved many of their services that pass through Wiltshire in the last two year" say John Ingram, Chairman and Warminster Committee representative at the West Wilts Rail Users Group, "but the service linking the main Wiltshire Towns remains unfit for purpose, and dramatically worse than it was three years ago. The proposals are eminently practical and are what are needed to get the service up and running again."

Thank you to John's son Richard for letting me know; the WWRUG committee which met last night passes on it condolences to John's family and friends. Fond memories and John was a rock who will be sorely missed.
