Railway Maintenance!

With all the controversy about the poor rail infrastructure in Tasmania I was surprised to see railway maintenance happening! Good on'um! On that note:

Future Transport Tasmania will be meeting this Tuesday next week
28th April at the New Sydney Hotel (HOBART!) in the conference room upstairs. Anyone who
wants to get involved in the nuts and bolts of the group and help us do stuff is
welcome.

Its
been a quiet week or two in the media regarding transport although the issue
always crops up. As you may have noticed today the Brighton Bypass has begun
construction, which will be fabulous for all those people who want to get to
Launceston and back five or ten minutes quicker! $164 million so that we don't
have to drive slowly through the Brighton shopping
precinct.

Might be worth considering what we could get
INSTEAD of a bypass for $164 million? Indeed, the rail network upgrade is
just $122 million -how good would our rail network be if we spent ANOTHER $164
million on it?

Please feel free to write letters to the
newspaper & ring up talk back radio and help us keep the issue of public
transport and rail in the media.

Many thanks,

Toby
