MP steps up campaign as Twyford rail website is launched
This week local Twyford MP Theresa May launched a new website dedicated to the campaign for better rail services for Maidenhead, Twyford and the two branch lines. It includes an on-line petition against the devastating cuts that are planned for December 2006.
Theresa commented; “Over the last week I have been inundated with complaints over these devastating cuts and hundreds of local commuters have signed my on-line petition. We now have a small window of opportunity before the consultation closes on 10th March and I am determined to bring as much pressure to bear as possible. I urge local commuters to visit www.saveourrtrains.com and sign the petition against these cuts.
“Next Tuesday I am meeting Derek Twigg MP, the Transport Minister, to ensure that he is fully aware of the strength of opposition to this further reduction in the services we receive. By working together as a community, strengthened by the Advertiser’s excellent campaign, I am confident that we can mitigate the impact of these cuts which present such a serious threat to our area.”
Take Action Now
Join the Twyford campaign and help to save our Twyford rail services.
What you can do:
2) E-mail the Transport Minister directly at Derek.Twigg@dft.gsi.gov.uk
3) Take part in First Great Western's consultation process by e-mailing tt06@firstgroup.com
Network Rail appear to be preventing First Great Western from running more fast trains in order to improve the performance of long-distance intercity services.
This is unacceptable.
Remarkably, Network Rail refuse to accept complaints by e-mail, but John Armitt, their Chief Executive, can be contacted at Network Rail, 40 Melton Street, London, NW1 2EE
Twyford
