ERTA Calls for people to consider becoming 
“reliable assistant volunteers”
The English Regional Transport Association (ERTA)’s vital work across the regions demands growth of reliable, assistant volunteers, to help us better service existing commitments and to be in a better position expand our efforts. Volunteering with ERTA can provide useful experience and CV filling as well as enabling others with time, talent or both to contribute and give-back to the national interest. The key roles we want people to assist with is:
ü    Leafleting beit Great Central Corridor re-railing, Horsham, Bedford and elsewhere – it is exercise, must have own transport and a modicum of common sense. Reliability is key.
ü    Research, fact finding and putting cases/coherent arguments together for advancing our projects. Guildford-Horsham, Horsham-Shoreham, Woodhead, Northamptonshire and London.
ü    Forum and helping with marketing meetings: Horsham, Leicester, Bedford, London and elsewhere. Getting people to our forums, engaging positively and helping advance existing goals and policies, as well as identifying new and ensuring they are resourced.
ü    We request people consider joining ERTA as a Member which gives more rights and enables Committee work and inner echelons to better function. Qualities are reliability, admin ability and keeping sight of what we are trying to achieved and getting the balances right.
More information can be found on our website: https://ertarail.co.uk/ and/or join our email loop via requests to richard.erta@gmail.com, attend forums and tap in to what we are doing and explore what you can offer in terms of time, talent, recruitment and resource generation. As a team, we can aim for turning the tide from fragmented railways to route protection, year-on-year rail reopenings agendas; cutting congestion, emissions and waste by re-railing people, places and glaring gaps in the national rail network of a local, conventional type.
