Rail ideas RDS members fed plenty of ideas on how to improve rail services to Peter Webster who is managing the A453 multi-modal study. He addressed the branch meeting in December. At a seminar later, there were calls for a light rail line from central Nottingham to junction 24 of the M1 and/or East Midlands airport. For more information about the multi-modal studies, which could result in action on the ground in 2003, visit the website: www.a453multimodal.com
Partnership RDS is supporting plans to set up a community rail partnership on the Derby-Matlock line. The idea for a partnership came up at a rail summit in Matlock organised by the Rail Passengers Committee. The bad news was that the Robin Hood line from Nottingham to Worksop cannot be incorporated into a franchise until spring 2003. It remains to be seen if the SRA will assist the local authorities with their revenue-support liabilities between now and then.

Rail users are encouraged to join Railfuture to help us campaign for a bigger and better railway - membership for individuals is just £20 per year
Railfuture is an independent, voluntary group representing rail users in Britain with 20,000 affiliated and individual members. It is not funded by train companies, political parties or trade unions, and all members have an equal say.
Railfuture campaigns for cheap and convenient rail services for everyone; better links for buses, bikes and pedestrians; policies to get more heavy lorries on to rail; new lines, stations and freight terminals. In short, a better rail service and a bigger rail system for both passengers and freight.
Railfuture is pro-rail but not anti-road or anti-air. However, we campaign for a switch from road and air to rail. We do not interfere in the running of the railway - we campaign for the quality and range of services provided, not how they are delivered. We are the only champion of all rail users.
