As a fairly recent member of Railfuture (formerly named 'Transport 2000', I believe), my impressions are that - like a lot of other campaigning organisations - their successes and failures vary depending on the amount of work and commitment that individual members in different branches are prepared to put in. One of my fellow European Passenger Group members is also chair of SENRAG - South East Northumberland Rail Action Group - and I know for a fact that he and his fellow committee members have put in a huge amount of their own time campaigning and lobbying local councillors, MPs, Network Rail, the Rail Development Group and Northern towards the reopening of the Newcastle-Ashington line....which is now, hopefully, coming to fruition. I'm also aware that Railfuture Scotland has been very actively campaigning in recent years for the reopening not only of Reston, East Linton, Dalcross and Kintore stations, but also for line reopenings to Tweedbank, Levenmouth, St Andrews, Ellon and Alloa-Dunfermline. Fair enough, there must be some branches in other areas of the UK which are less active but, behind all the talk there is a lot of hard campaigning work by dedicated volunteers in their own time. The Rf European Passenger Group is chaired by a very dedicated and experienced ex-CEO of a major UK rail passenger franchise who has a lot of high-level contacts in the rail industry both in the UK and in Europe. Our major campaigning effort at the moment is to try and persuade Eurostar to improve their passenger experience, with particular reference to the provision of through ticketing on both sides of the channel and improving connectivity and co-operation with national rail networks on the continent. At the same time, lesser campaigns are ongoing, such as trying to persuade TOCs to provide multi-lingual signage (including in Chinese) at stations which are either 'gateway' points - such as those at airports or ferry ports - or major tourist destinations, such as Oxford, Cambridge, Bath, Stratford-on-Avon, York, Edinburgh, Inverness, etc. However it is acknowledged that since Brexit there has been a huge downturn in tourism from continental Europe, which may take many years to recover.
