@Heidi_Labour @AngelaRayner Very good to read! Let’s get delivering much needed public transport right across the uk

Very pleased about this!

[Department for Transport @transportgovuk]

We're introducing new powers that will enable local leaders to shape rail services to better meet the needs of their communities.

The changes will help deliver a rail network that works for local residents, improving train timetabling, accessibility and connections with other transport modes.

@theRailUK We can’t agree more! Trams are an essential part of our transport mix - enabling access to employment, healthcare, recreation… road shouldn’t be the only focus of the uk wish to thrive - not everyone owns a car!

Transport systems are not working for the people they serve, and that needs to change.

By putting people at the heart of how we design, build and operate transport, we can make it work for everyone.

[KenExTram @KenExTram]

@transportgovuk A step in the right direction! we fully support putting people at the heart of our planning it’s essential and not just a city issue these days.
