ATOC and RDG ushers in new era of transparency

Good news for fans of greater RDG and ATOC integration.

Word reaches Eye that tomorrow's RDG meeting is likely to see closer co-operation between the two bodies placed firmly on the agenda.

An ATOC spokesman observed today: 'Discussions are on-going'.

Quite so.

In fact so 'on-going' are discussions, that in certain recent conversations you might almost have mistaken ATOC speaking for RDG!

Perhaps helpful to recall that transparency is, as transparency does.

UPDATE: This from Sidney Supplychain...

No doubt there are plans in hand to communicate these exciting developments to, and engage more fully with, RDG's Associate Members?

Didn't think so.

UPDATE: This from Leftoutin Thecold...

This is the full list of RDG Associate Members, as at 16th September.

  • Ashfield Consulting Ltd
  • Babcock
  • Birmingham Centre for Railway Research
  • Bombardier Transportation
  • Bond Dickinson LLP
  • Brisk Projects
  • British Transport Police Authority
  • Carillion

UPDATE: This from Alecto...

Encouraging to see so many of the industry's heavy hitters signing up to have no influence at all on whatever the owning groups and Network Rail have decided they want to do...

RDG seeks Associate Members... please?

This from Graham Smith, Director General of the Rail Delivery Group...

“The Rail Delivery Group is pleased to invite companies and organisations that are able to contribute to the work and objectives of the Group to become Associate Members. By becoming Associate Members of the RDG, companies and organisations can make a material contribution to the achievement of the RDG’s objectives, which will, in turn, benefit passengers, freight customers and taxpayers”

Very good and quite right too!

Application forms for RDG Associate Membership can be found here.

But why is the RDG, now a company limited by guarantee, still issuing press releases through Network Rail...
