CORONAVIRUS - SAFER TRAVEL GUIDANCE FOR PASSENGERS

The government has issued guidelines for use of public transport during the coronavirus outbreak.  These include:
  • wear a face covering in crowded places.  Face coverings are still mandatory in Scotland, Wales and on Transport for London services.
  • allow for your journey to take longer than usual
  • avoid peak time travel when possible
  • follow instructions given to you by staff and notices.
For further details see the official Safer Travel Guidance for passengers published by HM Government.

Tell the Chancellor why public transport is important

The Campaign for Better Transport (CBT) is urging public transport users to write to the Chancellor and / or their MP to press the case for public transport in the forthcoming spending review.  Public transport is too often seen as expendable when making spending cuts and if users don't make the case for it we may find the facilities we use will be severely reduced or taken away entirely.
 
The CBT makes its case here.  RRUG encourages you to follow its guidelines.

What we do

Rugby Rail Users Group aims to get the best possible train services and station facilities for rail travellers using Rugby station. We work with the train operating companies, Network Rail, national and local government to achieve this.

Recent successes include extra through trains between Rugby and the North West, and an earlier first train to Birmingham on Sunday mornings.

Currently our main aims include:

  • Maintaining the existing train service levels and improving these where possible
  • Further improvements to services between Rugby and the North West direct via the Trent Valley line
  • Later train services back from London and Birmingham on Saturday evenings
  • Maintaining and improving connections to destinations not directly served from Rugby
  • Maintaining and improving facilities at Rugby station
  • Improving connectional facilities between Rugby station and the town centre
  • Providing a travel information service for Rugby rail users via our website..

Your support will help us to achieve these aims. Join Rugby Rail Users Group now using the application form available by using this link.
