Declining member numbers will be discussed at the annual general meeting of the Marlow-Maidenhead Passengers Association, which has been running for 36 years (link below.)

If extra support is not found there is a serious threat that the association - which works with companies like First Great Western and Network Rail - will fold.

The group meets on a regular basis to fight for better rail services and recently played a key role in achieving more peak time train services between Marlow and Maidenhead.

The MMPA announced:

Quote from: Marlow-Maidenhead Passengers Association
"FGW considers us to be a useful contact for the line and is anxious that we should keep the association going. However, if support from the membership is not forthcoming, then we may have to consider disbanding. Obviously this is a last resort, and we would prefer not to go down this route."

The meeting will also give the public a chance air their views and opinions with transport managers and it is set to take place in the Bourne End Community Centre, in Wakeman Road, Bourne End on Friday 14 March 2008 at 8pm.
