Pleased to be up at the Northern community rail conference today. Great presentations including on Bentham's Dementia Friendly project - hats off to Gerald Townson.

Has anyone done any research away from the railway asking people who either don't use the railway (or use it infrequently) their views on their local train service and what might make them use it or use it more?

In return for compensation of travel and stay expences for a short stay, I offer to all UK authorities (with a little preference for Scotland) free advice on a traffic issue you want to have solved (public transport, stations, roads, cycling etc). I have years of experience in traffic and transport at several subjects, levels and in EU projects with UK partners. And I like the UK and its people.
If you or your organisation is interested, please let me know p.alzer@parkstad-limburg.nl and we can discuss it. I am glad to take a leave here, to help you!

The Devon and Cornwall Rail Partnership is holding its annual conference on community rail in Plymouth next Wednesday 7th September. We still have a few spaces left and were wondering if any members of the cafe would like to attend? Details of the conference can be found by following the link, and if you would like to attend please email me at rebecca.catterall@plymouth.ac.uk. http://www.dcrp.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/DCRP-conf-agenda-sept-2016.pdf

Hi Colleagues, I am interested to know whether there is a similar level of pay for community rail partnership officers? I am compiling the info from posts as they come up but would find out more if people are prepared to email me details of their pay. I'm thinking possibly that I should go through job evaluation to get a grade raise so need evidence. Thanks Sally
