We can learn a lot from history - both ancient history, and from what's happened as recently as last year or even last week - and we do so on the TransWilts; it's called "learning from experience" and "not making the mistakes others have made".

But ... this is NOT a railway line set in the past. We're supporting the provision of a service to link communities, and link businesses in the best way to suite modern requirements - it's a service with a role to serve. So you'll find only a little talk of steam trains, historic signs and posters, or the harking back to the days of the "Hymek" and British Rail, and that little bit of talk and activity is all about the enjoyment, use and publicity of the line now and into the future.
