Rail at the Heart of a Green Transport Strategy
Do you know that you can go to London from Westbury in two directions?
Go by train in an hour-and-a-half, with no nuisance of your car in London.
With a unique choice of Paddington in the west and Waterloo in the centre.
Westbury railway station is also ideal to be a parkway, to realise its potential.
A parkway concept is that people use their cars or buses for the short journeys to local main-line railway stations
having large parking areas and coach pick-up, charged for in the price of an inclusive rail fare.
Westbury is on two main lines.
The train station is at the edge of Westbury and has sufficient spare land around.
There have to be more facilities for more people, as a sustainable financial case.
For it to be really used to resolve problems, the railway requires good access.
It needs an unrestricted access road from outside of the town, from the west.
A western access road is the Westbury solution which would serve all needs.
