From local feeds is Melksham:

Please come along to the MELKSHAM CAMPUS on 12th March 2026 at 18:30 for the Melksham Transport User Group update and AGM. All welcome. Full agenda out by this weekend but it will include:
* An update on current and future train and bus services
* Information at the Station - including joining our team
* Ideas for the Spring and Summer using trains and buses
* Bus stop and railway station updates
* How public transport will help and grow as Melksham grows
* Interaction with rail and bus industry to promote service for Melksham - your inputs please

The 18:30 start allows for arrival by train at 18:00 (for our commuters) and the meeting concludes in good time for you to catch later trains home (if you're visiting from out of town) at 20:22, 20:39 and 21:32 ... or perhaps a social after the meeting - late train at 22:56.

If you're coming into Melksham from the Bath direction, come in on the 16:45 or 17:15 bus. We'll make sure you can catch the 20:26 bus back to Whitley, Atworth and back to Bath as the meeting concludes.  There's a bus at the same time to Devizes.
