NEXT STEPS

  Following the submission of the draft Carno Transport Appraisal containing the station business case to the Mid Wales Transport Consortium (TraCC) in July 2008, the group is pressing for tbe inclusion of the station in the 5 year programme of the Regional Transport Plan (RTP), as envisaged by the Welsh Assembly Government Head of Rail (see Enterprise and Learning Committee questions Minister - NOV 14TH TRANSCRIPT). The consultative draft of the RTP is expected to appear by October 2008.

 The RTP Public Consultation  will provide an opportunity for all supporters of Carno Station re-opening to let TraCC know their views, and it is vital that everybody does so. The consultation period is expected to last at least one month.
