Interim Timetable July 2018

Our statement on the July 15 timetable has been submitted to GTR and upon request to our MP’s office, alongside and in collaboration with Royston and Villages, Ashwell and Letchworth Rail User Groups. We have also submitted feedback on the disruption generally for the ORR’s Inquiry and the Transport Select Committee, and an email to the new CEO of Govia Thameslink concerning changes to compensation arrangements. For more information about the Meldreth, Shepreth and Foxton Rail User Group’s response to the timetable roll out, including contact email addresses and useful websites, please click here.
