An interesting looking industry event ... 4th and 5th March and free for delegates.   I was struck by this question on the sign up form (which I looked at but did not complete) which shows just how complex the rail industry is.

Quote
Which of the following organisations are you a member of?
* Please tick one or more boxes
  ACE ADEPT BAG BPA CECA CICES CIHT CILT ICE IET▸ (Intercity Express Train - replacement for HSTs (manufactured by Hitachi in Kobe, Japan)) IFME IHE ITS UK▸ (United Kingdom) LCRIG RIA Tech UK TGTAG TPS UKMPG UK Tram WES WIT None of the above

I don't know most of those ... is ANY of them a public transport customer organisation?
