I know it's for "bus and train services", but might it be worth mentioning that Ubers are available in the area? They might be a last resort, and it reassures potential users that Melksham isn't one of those places where the Uber app implies it is available but in fact it isn't (eg. Thirsk, where we were a few weeks ago).
For the original hook I was hanging this on (hook not published as it contained personal data), I felt that adding taxi and Uber data would lengthen and the post and to some extent mask the purpose.
But ... there IS excellent reason for writing up the Uber / taxi / private hire setup with a Melkham perspective and to have that data publicly shared. The challenge will be to keep it balanced and customer centric. It WILL be written up for inclusion in the "Information at the Station" FAQ.
