How about stopping groups of kids swearing like troopers in and around the ticket office in Trowbridge so families have to stand out in the cold/wet to stop their kids hearing this when waiting for trains.
And smokers on the steps (smoking area) so family's need to walk through the clouds of smoke to get to the train!
British Transport Police officers will have their work cut out.

Dear god, you lot and your first world problems make me genuinely despair in humanity! Why not clear off to Tottenham for a month, then come back and realise how nice this area really is?!?!

Is this smoking area inside MrG? If not, I don't believe for one minute there are 'clouds' of smoke that families have to struggle through. And if there were is it somehow worse for a family unit?

How about turning up at the meeting? Or does remaining a keyboard warrior seem more convenient in your pursuit of spleen-venting and then feeling entitled to use the phrase "told you so"?

good grief! I remember as a child being forced to walk through clouds of smoke produced by the train itself, and had to listen squealing pigs being led to slaughter at Bow**rs nearby.

I really have to say that all told, it's just not that bad round these parts. Cheer up and get over it.

Just because the driver is locked behind a door so safe from any drunkards,
does not mean the rest of us men,woman and children are!
