2020/Webinar - RAILFUTURE WEBINAR [link]
- Sat 03/10/2020 Attracting passengers back to rail
- Chris Page, Railfuture chair said:
"Britain's railway faces its greatest threat since the Beeching Cuts in the 1960s. Because of COVID-19 patronage fell through the floor and has only partially recovered.
"The government will not be willing to keep the railway afloat at vast cost indefinitely. Fare income from passengers is vital. The public must use the railway or risk losing it.
"Rail travel must be safe, value for money, punctual, convenient and enjoyable.
"We had five speakers from the rail industry representing organisations that could offer expert advice and/or take the necessary actions to encourage the public to use our railway.
"I thank everyone who joined our webinar." - Join from 10:45, webinar starts at 11:00 and finishes at 12:30
