ITEM EX7 - ANNEX 2EXECUTIVE – 7 JANUARY 2003Rail 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 development; STNS - aspirations focusing on anything that is station related.
