My hon. Friend mentions the service from Swindon to Westbury and onwards. That service goes through Chippenham in my constituency, where a significant number of people use that line down through west Wiltshire. Under the proposals, which, rather bizarrely, the Government are signing off—it should be First Great Western, but the Government are actually to blame—the trains from Chippenham down towards Southampton are being cut. Is that not a disgrace?
