The Ivybridge Rail User's Group was very proactive in campaigning against the cuts in rail services announced by FGW in February 2006. These cuts affected many areas over the South and South West rail network. Many of these cuts were subsequently re-instated. However there are still other places where there have been cuts in services. We support the campaigns in other areas, where  cuts are planned to take place or where expansion of the rail service is suggested..
 

Our campaign actively promotes the use of train travel wherever possible, instead of using cars . We do not advocate using buses as replacements for existing train services but do recognise the importance of buses in a transport infrastructure.
