Successful local rail partnerships are already happening across England. Together with Shadow GBR partners, we've published a collection of case studies that demonstrate these projects, from individual stations to whole programmes of work. Download ⬇️ urbantransportgroup.org/reso…

Incredibly sad news. Eamonn achieved so much for Greater Manchester, always leading by example and for @UTG_UK as board member from 2019-2023. I personally found his guidance, support and mentorship invaluable. My thoughts are with his family at this time.
It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Eamonn Boylan OBE, former Chief Executive of Greater Manchester Combined Authority and @BeeNetwork Under his leadership Greater Manchester became a trailblazer for devolution, unlocking new powers and responsibilities, and taking buses back under public control for the first time in 40 years. orlo.uk/hSxn5
