Go Op give up on Nuneaton

[The Planner]

Not sure if it has been discussed before, but it looks like Go Op have given up on the Taunton Nuneaton (was Birmingham) idea and have gone for a condensed Taunton Swindon shuttle. Still persisting 10 years on!

Developments on the mainline project

Our proposal is to operate an entirely new route, principally on the Taunton - Swindon corridor. At first we can only introduce three direct services to Swindon, due to high levels of congestion beyond Westbury. However, we will also operate a further three services to Frome or Westbury, with the aim of connecting with services to Swindon already on the timetable. This greatly enhances the connectivity of the network in the west country, giving hundreds of thousands of people a real alternative to car travel. Journeys that were previously very difficult or impossible by rail (for example, Yeovil to Taunton, or Frome to Chippenham, or Taunton to Frome, should now become practical. In years to come we hope to ensure at least one train very two hours for each of these.

This one has been flogged well beyond the normal levels of dead horse flogging.

Burial would be the most decent thing.
