Severnside Branch of Railfuture passed the following resolution at their AGM on Saturday 8 April :

This meeting welcomes the detailed paper produced by Transport 2000 (with support from Travel Watch South West and Railfuture) for Growing the Railways in the South West launched in Bristol in January 2007.  In order to move things forward we

1)    congratulate Bristol City Council on putting aside money for an additional train between Avonmouth & Temple Meads for a trial period of three years.

2)   call on the West of England Partnership, the Government Office of the South West and MPs to raise the demand for a half hour service for the 17 plus railway stations in the Greater Bristol area

3)   call on the West of England Partnership to integrate the rail service with the bus and, where possible, the Bristol Ferry service.

4)   agree to investigate linking up with other rail campaigners such as CANBER which has the support of 10 rail campaigning groups

FOSBR also endorsed this resolution at its April meeting.
