Welcome!
As Chair of the LGA Public Transport Consortium (PTC) I am delighted to welcome PTC local government members, non-members and the public to this site. I have been a Councillor since 1979 worked on the Railways for 38 years mostly in Control offices in Manchester and Crewe, posts included London Midland Region Duty Manager for Rail freight Distribution and Company Control Manager for a Train Operating Company.
We are always looking to welcome new members to the Consortium as we aim to give a platform for the great ideas and best practice being taken forward by our members despite resource and other difficulties. This can only be enhanced by increasing authorities in membership and promoting innovative ideas and the exchange of experience and expertise.
We meet regularly as an Executive and also for wider plenary meetings, where we hope to share useful topics of interest. For the most part, we meet virtually but the annual general meeting is hybrid. If members are able to attend in person in London, we are delighted to welcome them.
