Also take a look at:

1. http://www.corridor-alliance.co.uk/  - still a very active and well informed group indeed even though the link I have looks a bit stale; regular meetings (you just missed one on 14th June), and I can put you in touch is need be.  Huge respect for A36/A350 Corridor Alliance and White Horse Alliance Members.

2. http://www.wiltshire.gov.uk/wiltshireassembly/wiltshireassemblytransport.htm - Wiltshire Transport Alliance of the Wiltshire family of partnerships. I tried to email the contact given over the weekend, but it bounced. Main [council] web page contact form also broken over the weekend - http://www.wellho.net/pix/wiltserr.jpg so I can't provide much more on this one. I was advised (on Friday) that the group is meeting "sometime next week" and again I can put people in touch if need be.  Apparently it's "invitation only" though.

Have I really found a near-complete list?  Does anyone have anything they can add?  A couple of the organisations on my original list are questionable as to whether they should be included - concerns include whether Wiltshire is just on the edge of their main territory rather than being core to them, and whether they're still active.  I have - intentionally - includes those in the "don't know" categories, but eliminated past groups that have rolled into others.

I seem to be being answered in email rather than on the forum in this thread  Undecided

I have left out wide area organisations from my original list - but the following may be worth a look:
* TravelWatch SouthWest
* Passenger Focus
* Campaign for Better Transport
* Sustrans
* Inland Waterways Association
* Rambler's Association

Do you have something you would like to add to this thread, or would you like to raise a new question at the Coffee Shop? Please [register] (it is free) if you have not done so before, or login (at the top of this page) if you already have an account - we would love to read what you have to say!

You can find out more about how this forum works [here] - that will link you to a copy of the forum agreement that you can read before you join, and tell you very much more about how we operate. We are an independent forum, provided and run by customers of Great Western Railway, for customers of Great Western Railway and we welcome railway professionals as members too, in either a personal or official capacity. Views expressed in posts are not necessarily the views of the operators of the forum.

As well as posting messages onto existing threads, and starting new subjects, members can communicate with each other through personal messages if they wish. And once members have made a certain number of posts, they will automatically be admitted to the "frequent posters club", where subjects not-for-public-domain are discussed; anything from the occasional rant to meetups we may be having ...
