SELRAP Autum Conference

The study commissioned by SELRAP, and carried out by JMP Consulting in 2007, established that there is a strong business case for reopening the Skipton-Colne line. And within the Lancashire and Cumbria RUS, Network Rail states that the remaining obstacle to the reopening is funding. To be held on Friday November 6th at Herriots
Hotel, Skipton, SELRAP’s third major conference aims to help focus the minds of those who matter on the way forward for SELRAP.

Whilst SELRAP is at an early stage in organising this, our third major conference, our speaker list is firming up exceptionally quickly and, to date,
consists of the following:

Norman Baker MP: Lib Dem Shadow Secretary of State for Transport.
Stephen Hammond MP: Conservative Shadow Minister for Transport.

Peter Frost: MD Kilbride Group (www.kilbridegroup.com).
Alan Beswick: Director JMP Consulting (www.jmp.co.uk).
