Representatives of rail companies and the Rail Passengers Council also attend meetings of SRPG.
The aims of the group are:
- to consider proposals for local authority funding of railway passenger or freight services operating wholly or partly within Suffolk, or otherwise of benefit to the residents or environment of Suffolk;
- to consider any relevant proposed legislation ,affecting the railway industry and the implications this may have upon the residents or environment of Suffolk;
- to consider any other matters relating to railway policy or financing which, in the opinion of the
Group, might have an effect upon the residents or environment of Suffolk; and - to advise the County Council and constituent Borough, District, Town and Parish Councils on any
of the above matters.
