I'm attending the Travel Watch South West twice-a-year meeting (of travel and transport groups in the South West) next Saturday, in Taunton.

We are pleased to announce (22/09/2007) that our speakers will include David Ward, the newly appointed Network Rail Western Route Director. says the on line Agenda

What should I be asking Mr Ward on behalf of the users of his intrastructure who post here?  No promise that I'll get an opportunity, but I like to be prepared in case!

Hi Grahame

You could ask for confirmation that the doubling of Worle Jn to Weston Milton is going ahead in the next year, and if so it would be nice to know dates as soon as possible, as I presume it will entail quite a lengthy shutdown. In general, an update on progress of major items on the infrastrucutre items mentioned in the last NR» (Network Rail - home page) Plan would be good.

I'll certainly put up any general interest stuff on the day ... and listen out for that specific / seeif I get a chance to raise it if it doesn't come up.  I guess I should also see what drifts I get on some of the other works that may be in the programs (or may be are just thoughts for the program) such as extra tracks against platforms at Chippenham and Westbury.
