Free rail travel may be made available to pensioners using some rural lines, the Welsh Assembly government has announced (links below.) http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/wales/6180746.stmhttp://www.rmtbristol.org.uk/2006/12/free_train_travel_for_over60s.html#moreEnterprise Minister Andrew Davies said pilot projects would run on rural stretches of the Heart of Wales Line and the Conwy Valley Line. The initiative follows studies which show that rail travel is a more viable and effective in some rural areas than bus services. "If these pilots are successful the assembly government would look to extend them next to the Cambrian Coast, Borderlands (Wrexham-Bidston) and Shrewsbury-Chester lines," said Mr Davies. Why cant we have such an enlightened approach in England? |
