Passengers Voice - supporters groups
If you are interested in supporting your local rail
service there are many like minded people out there. By getting
together with others you can make a real difference to your rail
service. Stations have been re-opened, rail fares regulated and
services improved as a result of these user initiatives. It is not
just about joining an organisation to make your voice heard with
governments and policy makers though. There are plenty of
opportunities for ground level activities to improve your railway.
In Scotland local groups are adopting their station to plant flowers and
tend gardens while in the USA local marketing groups are being formed to
promote their rail route. Have a look at what's involved, meet new
people and have fun improving your local service!
