Public Transport in the North of England

ABOUT PUBLIC TRANSPORT IN THE NORTH OF ENGLAND

In 2023 we expanded our established Northern rail conference into a two-day event, covering both rail and bus. For 2024 we will continue this format but crossing the Pennines to Leeds: day one (Tuesday 10 September) will cover rail matters, with day two (Wednesday 11 September) focusing on developments in the bus industry.
