Powerful words in yesterday's NEETs report.

"If a young person cannot physically get to the college, the interview, the apprenticeship or the job, nothing else the system offers matters"

Need to fill gaps in the transport network & make fares affordable.

An article by our CEO, Ben Plowden, about the extraordinary potential of international rail.

[Rail Technology Magazine @thertmnews]

Rail could carry half of UK–Europe short-haul journeys by 2040 if the Channel Tunnel’s potential is fully used.

That shift could deliver £1bn a year for the UK economy and cut flights.

As we say in this article, better train WiFi is much needed and worth celebrating.

However, we will continue campaigning for rail reform to tackle more fundamental issues including affordability, cancelled trains, and poor accessibility at many stations.

[Paul Mcginley @PaulMcG2023]

Are those people alert to the public transport options that they have? You'll often find that a lot of areas have more transport links than most of the residents even realise

Are they also aware of the impact their car use has on unnecessary congestion?
