English Regional Transport Association – Conference “Rail Route Protection and Re-openings” (Zoom)

The English Regional Transport Association (ERTA) is a voluntary membership-based, pro-public transport improvement association. Line re-openings is right up our street in advocacy, campaigning and nurturing congenial agreement and resolution, bringing people together and making common cause.

ERTA seeks to be realistic and match our available human and other resources and what we can reasonably do with the plethora of projects needing stimulus and advocacy. Clearly, we cannot do it all, and on the one hand are cheered others are growing groups to fill in gaps whilst the national bodies seem wedded to big projects and lack-lustre in grassroot upwards endeavours or at least not as comprehensively on the reopenings front as we would like.
