As part of the nationwide Rail 200 celebrations, we will explore rail’s past, discuss its present, and work together to define its future.
What to expect:
-
Reflect on how rail has shaped the East over the past two centuries
-
Explore opportunities to improve passenger and freight services to strengthen economic and social outcomes
-
Hear what nationalisation will mean for passengers and services in our region
-
Case studies of successful rail scheme delivery from across the UK
-
The chance to share your insights to help develop a long-term vision for rail in the East
Your contribution is essential. We will be asking attendees to highlight regional challenges and local solutions for rail, suggest ways to better integrate rail into planning and other modes of transport, and share their top priorities for rail. This feedback will be compiled into a report to be presented to the East’s future mayors, ensuring your voice helps shape decisions.
