Press
Release
The English Regional Transport Association (ERTA) is a voluntary
based pro public transport membership association and membership and support is
open to all. We are aware that capacity on existing north-south rail lines is
reaching a critical point of constraint and motorways like M1 and M40 for
example are often clogging up with long delays which costs us all. Therefore,
we believe something extra is needed. Birmingham may get HS2 but Coventry and
Rugby – what do they get? We can’t turn the clock back, like our Victorian
ancestors we need to start with a blank sheet and work out what can reasonably
be done and recovered for reviving the rail corridor dormant between Leicester
(Narborough) – Rugby-Calvert where the new railway would link into lines to
Oxford via Bicester and beyond and also lines to Aylesbury and beyond to
Heathrow and Guildford for example. This could be useful for more passengers
and freight to go by rail and Rugby stands to gain.
ERTA has produced
a report which seeks to acts as an appetiser, putting the outline of what we
think may be possible and courting backers in the business and other community
to come together and support it where possible, either hard copy or pdf
downloads on our excellent sales page on our website: https://ertarail.com/sales/ ERTA hopes to facilitate meetings in Rugby
and elsewhere over this year and welcomes support. Our email loop for
interested persons is richard.erta@gmail.com
