Transport 2000 will be launching their Manifesto for rail growth in the Southwest region on 19th January 2007 in Bristol.

Growing the Railways: A Manifesto to Move Us Forward, endorsed by 21 organisations including the TUC, RMT, Scope, the Ramblers and Help the Aged calls on the Government to plan for a growing railway network as it prepares its new strategy on the future of rail, due in summer 2007.

Admission free - All Welcome

Speakers include: Jenny Agutter (Transport 2000),
David Drew MP, Alex Gordon (RMT)

The Manifesto has pulled together support for a thriving regional railway from politicians, local government, business leaders, unions and rail user groups. The launch is part of a nationwide campaign run by Transport 2000 called Growing the Railways, which calls on Government to plan for a growing railway in its 30 year rail plan due next year.

The manifesto for Growing the Railways in the Southwest will be launched at the Government Office for the Southwest, Temple Quay, in Bristol on 19 January 2007 at 10:00 AM.
