<strong>The</strong> election of a mayor with substantial transport planning<br />

powers,and a reassessment of the extent to which we can<br />

emissions create the opportunity for rail to assume an<br />

increasing role in the movement of people into, through<br />

part in bringing about the long-awaited improvements which<br />

are now more possible than at any time in the recent past.<br />
