Special Transport Focus Board Meeting, Manchester

19 June 2018

Rail passengers have suffered frustrating disruption since 20 May, when a new timetable was introduced. Almost half of Britain’s rail services were rescheduled and people were affected right across the rail network.

Unprecedented delays, confusion and cancellations have made life miserable for many Northern and TransPennine Express passengers.

The Transport Focus Board will hold the industry to account at a public meeting in central Manchester (venue to be confirmed) at 1.30pm on 19 June. We will hear from the managing directors of Northern, David Brown, and TransPennine Express, Leo Goodwin, and Network Rail director of route sponsorship Patrick Cawley and question them on recent poor performance and plans for compensation.

If you would like to attend this special meeting please contact yvonne.fox-burmby@transportfocus.org.uk and we will send final joining details to you.
