Better Transport

7 May: With no party winning enough seats to form a majority, a deal between parties now looks likely to form a government. Whether Conservative, Labour or Lib Dem, new ministers need urgently to set out a clear strategy for transport.

6 May: Parliamentary candidates don't often mention transport, except to promise schemes they know can't be afforded. The electorate deserves better.

3 May: We have joined with 50 other organisations to defend passengers from Government plans.

29 April: Whoever wins next week's election will have to make big cuts in transport spending. So why are MPs and prospective candidates making promises they can't keep?

27 April: We've just told the train companies what we think they should do about fares.

26 April: Later today, bus campaigners are hitting the streets in Devizes to stop the council from cutting a service that people need.

26 April: With major cuts in transport spending on the horizon, the next Government must resist the urge to slash spending on road maintenance while there are unaffordable road schemes we could do without.

23 April: The one thing Parliamentary candidates in Shropshire can agree on is that the Shrewsbury Relief Road won't solve Shrewsbury's traffic problems. So why is Shropshire Council still pushing it?

23 April: We've spotted something very worrying. The Government wants to give train companies a financial incentive to cut services, and it's not even giving passengers a chance to have their say.

22 April: We've responded to four Government consultations, together with 20 other organisations, calling for rail passengers' interests to be protected in franchises.
