Just thought I'd give a sneak preview of our new and latest diagram. Welcome your support. A new joined up network of local rail links informs a capacity creation north-south railway from East Midlands - South Coast including Brighton, Portsmouth and Southampton 'not via London, Birmingham or Oxford-Reading per se'.
Hot spots are all along the corridor:
a. Calvert - needs domestic lines and station
b. OOC - needs baying capacity as well as the direct link-up between Chiltern Main Line and Heathrow Southern Rail Link
c. Guildford-Horsham/Shoreham on-going
d. Willoughby-Rugby
e. Rugby-Magna Park-Lutterworth-Narborough area link up.
But what we need is to grow our teams and recruit reliable volunteers to work at each chunk. We can aspire and direct interest where appropriate there.
Enjoy and any support is welcome to entertain.
Benefits are:
a. more capacity on/off the rails
b. mops up communities without rail access
c. London west side orbital
d. Banbury, Brackley and Aylesbury - Guildford arc
e. more freight by rail potentially
f. connectivities and gains - including regenerative and modal shift choice as well as sustainability platforms for a balance between development and impacts.
Our newsletter will be out in 2 weeks time, but meanwhile feel free to tap into our meetings.
New councils means we are progressively updating our records. ERTA needs administrative and campaign helpers/supporters. Reliability is a crucial skill as well as competence in handling electronic record keeping, transparency and basic commitment to managing a portfolio. If at all interested or know others like for example retired or students - we welcome both ends of the age spectrum and all in between.
We have turned a corner:
a. East-West Rail is being done now
b. Growing appreciation of what local rail can offer
c. diverse and plauralised appreciation of route protections
d. Government one agent, farming out elsewhere and third party delivery vehicles another - what gives, what takes, we just want the rail delivery regardless in a timely manner.
Thank you. All offers via richard.erta@gmail.com For most people, joining and then offering is the normal proceedure.
