Our Railway, on track for a brighter future" Wednesday 19th June 7.30 Friends Meeting House Derby

 
"Our Railway, on track for a brighter future"
Wednesday 19th June 7.30
Friends Meeting House
Derby
 
All welcome.
 
With Nadine Rae, from the TSSA railway union,  and Peter Robinson from Derby Climate Coalition,  both active in Action For Rail.
 
Last week Action For Rail launched The Great Train Robbery an independent report by the CRESC team at the University of Manchester, part-funded by the TUC. This got widespread media coverage. Have a look at the piece in the Guardian by Aditya Chakrabortty the  Guardian which exposes the Richard Branson as the supreme carpet-bagger.
 
At Action For Rail are organising a seminar on Tuesday, at the TUC week, with Professor Karel Williams from CRESC and a range of other academics, MPs, think tanks, unions and researchers to get together to consider where we go with rail and what the options are for public ownership and other alternatives to the current system which is clearly not working for passengers or taxpayers. Nadine and Peter are attending the seminar and will feed snippets into the discussion.
