Thanks for that - hopefully I corrected most in this graphic:
Here's the circular email just sent out as a final call to attend
Ladies and Gentlemen,
Please find attached running oder / agenda notes for this evening and minutes from the committee meeting a month ago. The running order document include links to many other documents too.
This is a circular email. Please share as and if appropriate - all are welcome … And if you have already sent apologies, please forgive this circular repeat and I already have your apologies. If you can’r make this evening - don’t worry; this is a silly-busy month and day, and slides and news will be online afterwards and through (I hope and thank you) the Melksham News.
Finally - massive “thank you” to everyone circulated and readers who have been are are doing so much to support MTUG and public and sustainable transport in the Melksham area. This is a year of great change - of great opportunity but of great risk too. It’s also the year where we’re moving from a few of us doing a lot towards a far wider community and partnership involvement as we help current transport information, use and improvement in the Melksham area - for this week, this summer, next year, and the next decade as Melksham grows and changes.
I look forward to seeing those of you who can make this evening - packed agenda!

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.
