NEWS

The government has cancelled the competition for a new Cross Country franchise including our route between Birmingham and Stansted Airport through March. The present Direct Award franchise runs till December 2019. Beyond then we want the operator to

· keep a relentless focus on minimising cancellations

· continue to achieve high levels of East West passenger satisfaction

· be allowed to ensure that no passenger normally has to stand for more than 20 minutes

· be able to run trains on Sundays in university terms.

GOING ALL THE WAY

Our July newsletter carries both our responses to the Birmingham route (Cross Country) franchise consultation document and the message we sent to the three bidders for the Nottingham-Norwich (East Midlands) franchise. It confirms the ability of passengers with reduced mobility joining trains at Thetford platform 1 to buy tickets on the train and mentions a missed connection to Great Yarmouth on a race day.

Membership of Peterborough-Ely-Norwich Rail Users costs £3 from now until the end of 2019. Cheques should be made payable to "PETERBOROUGH-ELY-NORWICH RAIL USERS" and sent to: PENRUG, Thistledew, Fen Street, Old Buckenham, Attleborough, Norfolk, NR17 1NW. Please include your postal and email addresses. MEMBERSHIP APPLICATION FORM
