[otd] 13th May (1985) - Melksham Station re-opened

Much of the old content is scattered around the archives. 

We have moved forward from nothing to a service that provided for the specific flow of commuters from Melksham to Swindon to various experimental, thin, and unreliable services.   Forty years!

The service remains thin and unreliable.  We all acknowledge that - and look forward, let's say to the 50th anniversary, where it is appropriate and reliable.  The very actions of improving the service and having a service that people can rely on will bring in more passengers, as will population growth, information provision, and local connectivity within Melksham.
