The Focal group supporting the development of the Newquay Branch Line

« on: May 22, 2008, 17:54:59 »

Hi, I am new to this forum so I hope my message works! I thought it might be useful to those who are interested in the Newquay Branch Line that we are a community support group that started in Nov 2005 to represent the users of the line and to secure a much needed development of the local service and to gain general improvements such as for example at Newquay Railway Station. We have a website www.focal.org.uk and have been working hard with First Great Western to secure the 7 services Monday to Saturday with a dedicated rail unit starting from Dec 2008. We are also working with Councils and Network Rail. If there are any questions you would like to ask about our activities please respond. Thanks

Hi, Porth55, and welcome to the forum. Congratulations on the improvements from December - excellent news for the Newquay line. I'm part of a group looking at getting similar improvements elsewhere. Good to see it can be done Wink

- what do you think are the major keys to your success? Who do you think were the real influencers and decision makers (there you go a chance to hand out rosettes all around!)
