Who is who - Decisions of taking TransWilts forward
« on: December 01, 2007, 08:04:05 PM »

The three main players are the Department for Transport, First Great Western (although Stagecoach / South West Trains could also fit that role), and Wiltshire County Council.   Network Rail have a major role too - just slighly less than the other three.

With a great deal of discussion going on at the moment, the four people listed here are the senior people who are probably best placed to help our case along without being so senior that they are completely detached from the decisions and saying "why bother me".   In other words - I think they're good people to provide with lobby information.
