Regular Country Times letter writer, Rattus Rattus, has taken aim at the political establishment with their latest letter to the County Times noting the lack of funding for rail travel in Mid Wales. Read the letter here.

What do you think? Why is Mid Wales always left out when it comes to funding and support for public transport?

Carno Station Action Group has been fortunate to have the support of some key figures, including Steve Witherden, our MP.

On 11th February the Country Times covered our campaign. You can read the article here.

Witherden makes the case for reopening stations, and his proposed amendment to the Great British Railways Bill which would make this easier. The article was supported by a Facebook post and video on Witherden’s page, which outlines his commitment. On 22nd February Steve Witherden expressed, through his Facebook page, disappointment that the latest round of funding for new stations has seen no commitment to mid Wales.

The more public figures who back our campaign, the more likely we are to be heard. Do you have contacts or access to networks where we can share our message and campaign? Get in touch – we need the help of everyone in Carno and surrounding areas who will benefit from a reopened station!
