POLITICIANS met with train supporters on Friday to back the campaign to save the doomed Melksham train service.
Shadow transport spokesman Chris Grayling and Melksham MP Michael Ancram urged people to continue putting pressure on the Government to stop services being reduced.
First Great Western, which operates the services, has said from December the current service in Melksham of six trains a day will be cut to just two, with no trains running between 7.30am and 6.30pm.
Graham Ellis, who started the Save the Train campaign and website, said he was pleased to see the two politicians on Friday. "They came along to lend their support to up the pressure on the Government. Mr Grayling said what it is planning to do belies all logical sense. He will be putting pressure on transport minister Derek Twigg," he said.
