Railfuture Wales - 2025 AGM | Railfuture Cymru - 2025 CBC

The 2025 AGM will be held in Shrewsbury on Saturday 12 April 2025.

Cynhelir CBC 2025 yn Amwythig ar Dydd Sadwrn 12 Ebrill 2025.

Starts at 14:00. Meet shortly before the advertised time on Shrewsbury station forecourt outside the door marked BTP office.

There will be a chance to review the activities of Railfuture Wales over the past 12 months, discuss any issues and make suggestions for the future direction of the organisation and its parent body, Railfuture GB. The committee for the next 12 months will be decided.

This year, we are very pleased to welcome a speaker from Network Rail to give a presentation on the current projects in Wales and future prospects, including the closer integration of track and trains under Great British Railways.

A friendly welcome awaits — all welcome including non members.

Members are requested to consider joining the Railfuture Wales committee. This provides you with the opportunity to get involved with making the case for better Welsh rail services and to meet senior TfW staff and politicians. The committee meets four times a year, with three of the meetings held on Zoom in the evening on weekdays. You have the chance to take part in discussions and which (if any) other tasks you carry out between meetings is up to you.

If you wish to find out more or discuss this opportunity, please contact Richard Wilcock before the AGM. Email sowerby01 at yahoo.co.uk. It is not necessary to attend the AGM to join the committee if the date is not convenient for you.

Request for help: Railfuture Cymru/Wales requires volunteers to translate from English to Welsh and/or to be media contacts. Please contact Peter Kingsbury (details below) if you can help.

    About Railfuture

    Railfuture is an independent, voluntary group representing rail users in Britain with 20,000 affiliated and individual members. It is not funded by train companies, political parties or trade unions, and all members have an equal say.

    Railfuture campaigns for cheap and convenient rail services for everyone; better links for buses, bikes and pedestrians; policies to get more heavy lorries on to rail; new lines, stations and freight terminals. In short, a better rail service and a bigger rail system for both passengers and freight.

    Railfuture is pro-rail but not anti-road or anti-air. However, we campaign for a switch from road and air to rail. We do not interfere in the running of the railway - we campaign for the quality and range of services provided, not how they are delivered. We are the only champion of all rail users.

    Railfuture is the campaigning name of Railfuture Ltd.
