Topic: First Stakeholder meeting - 16th January (Read 2847 times)

I understand that the First Group have a stakeholder meeting coming up on 16th January at which they wish to meet people / organisations / customers of the new extended franchise.
I'm not sure this is "by invite only" or Open - in fact I have few details - but I'm investigating to find out. It could turn out that I'm not eligable for an invite. Although I've got the support of some 100 people who've signed the on line petition, and 100 customers of ours who have travelled to and from Melksham by train, and I've had coming up for 2000 distinct visitors to the web site, I am a private individual and I'm not constituted as an official organisation ....

It seems that I'm not on their "invite list" ... Thank you for your e-mail regarding the Stakeholder Forum taking place at the Ramada Hotel in Bristol on Monday.
Invitations have been sent to Local Authorities, Transport User Groups and the Rail Passengers Committee to attend and I can confirm that all places have now been filled. Therefore, I regret that you will be unable to attend.
Please be assured that the issues that you would like to raise, regarding the TransWilts service from Swindon to Southampton via Melksham will be discussed at the forum. If you would like to discuss this with a representative before the meeting, I would advise that you contact Gordon Dodge from the Melksham Rail Development Group or Micheal Reedy (who I understand you have contacted previously) from the Rail Passengers Committee.
I hope that this information is of use to you and I am sorry that you will not be able to attend the forum.
Yes, I have spoken with a representative or two before the meeting and I hope to bring you any worthwhile feedback .... |
