UK – It is not just those fighting an election these days who issue a manifesto. The Rail Freight Group (RFG) has set out its priorities for the new Government and called on all Party leaders to include rail freight as part of their transport commitments.
The RFG insists that with a renewed focus on UK trade, and increasing pressure to reduce carbon emissions, supporting rail freight should be a key part of future transport policy. To this end the organisation has prepared the manifesto, which can be read in full here, but which concentrates on the following points:
“Rail freight is delivering for businesses across the country, and with trade patterns changing on the doorstep of Brexit, and a focus on sustainability, our customers are pushing for further growth. The new Government has an opportunity to unlock significant benefits through their support for our sector and our plan sets out five priorities areas which should be addressed. We look forward to working with them to take this forward.”
