Major changes are now being made in the administration of Britain’s railway system, with planning and franchising responsibilities passing to the Department for Transport. Meanwhile the next periodic review of national railway finances will require the Secretary of State to set medium term aims for the railway system. Successfully developing Britain’s railway stations in the new era will call for effective understanding and sound partnerships. These themes are central to the issues being addressed at this year’s Rail Stations conference, now in its fifth year.

Highlights include

Department for Transport views on the role of stations
The National Audit Office’s value for money review of railway stations
What passengers want from stations
Developing stations within the local community
Managing and developing Sweden’s stations
Management of local stations to increase patronage
The full implications of DDA provision
Using CCTV to increase station security
