Growing Rail Network ERTA would like to see

A retiring collection will be available. Please invite others and help spread the word. Parking is limited. All offers to help get people there and support on the day welcome. Successful meetings can inspire others to get involved. Northampton-Market Harborough rail needs a dedicated team! Our website: https://ertarail.co.uk/events/

On the local rail needs and articles showing HS2 will not provide all the existing rail capacity the West Coast Main Line/Northampton Loop Line needs, more tracks for more trains means an opportunity to explore more platforms and tracks for through trains at Northampton as well as utilising old rail routes for reopenings and more capacity generally. We need public and elected tiers of governmental support for this to happen any time soon and we appeal for social, economic and environmental reasons to make thatsupport real and ensure trackbeds can be reasonably widened.
