Quote from: Liberal Democrats
The main proposals include:

Cutting fuel duty and abolishing VED over the next 10 years and introducing a cost-neutral road user pricing scheme on motorways and trunk roads

Building a high speed rail network paid for by introducing emissions-linked charges on road freight and internal flights

Introducing rolling contracts for train operating companies to increase long-term investment and improve services

Give power to control local bus services back to local authorities
 
Introducing a new fund for rural transport
 
Giving passengers a stronger voice to improve local transport services through a new passenger watchdog

Lib Dem leader Nick Clegg has backed the campaign to re open Corsham station (link below.)
