EXECUTIVE – 7 JANUARY 2003

Rail Projects

Aspirations for Passenger Rail Service Developments - Summary of Aspirations

In order to give each rail aspiration a unique reference number, and to group together aspirations of a similar nature, I have allocated each aspiration to one of five categories:

FRAN - aspirations applicable to rail franchising or a specific train operator

GENL - aspirations on general rail aspirations

INTG - aspirations dealing with integrated transport, such as bus/cycle/car parking;

SERV - aspirations dealing with delivering the train service, including timetable

STNS - aspirations focusing on anything that is station related.
