From Campaign for Better Transport - a Survey - please complete
Making a success of rail reform
The coming years will be transformative for Britain’s railway. The Government has started a process to renationalise train services, with half of the rail operators already under public ownership. It has also introduced a new Railways Bill, which will completely change how the railway is run. Track and train will be brought together under a new public body called Great British Railways, which will manage the whole network.
This level of change is likely to be a huge challenge – but it’s also a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to make rail travel better for everyone.
The aim of this survey is to find out how the public feels about the railways as they are, and what needs to change to make them better. We will share the survey results with key decision makers in government and industry, and through our public campaigning.
Rail reform: share your views
What do you think the priorities should be for improving rail? We would very much appreciate you filling in our survey. It has three pages and will take around 10 minutes. Thank you.

A very useful survey and well written - not that it will provide any direct input to the DfT, so influence may be limited. I went through it and found it very useful to help me thinking about my own views and priorities.
Our forum's "poll" facility is limited and I downloaded Limesurvey a while back; would love to be able to do fuller surveys here but that's not high up my lists and may never be. I may (and others may!) start some smaller polls ...
Edit note: I have corrected a trademark typo in grahame's topic heading. CfN.

Just completed the survey, and yes, it does rather focus your attention of what it is that you want/expect from GBR.... although I now realise that I forgot to mention in the appropriate free text area that I prefer the old BR title, which I rather expect most people will refer to it as over time anyway.
