Title: English Regional Transport Association (ERTA) Post by: grahame on October 30, 2019, 18:32:09 I've been involved with this campaigning stuff for over a dozen years and thought I had come across most other major national campaigning groups. The English Regional Transport Association (https://www.ertarail.com) is a new one on me, though - perhaps because their flagship projects are, thus far, not in our region.
Quote The English Regional Transport Association (ERTA) is a voluntary membership-based, pro-public transport improvement association with its main projects initially in the Bedfordshire and surrounding regional areas but its remit has since increased since several of its projects have a nationwide positive benefit and impact.
