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.
Individual delegate places cost £250 per day. To enquire about attendance or for sponsorship opportunities please contact David Lane on 07795 031051 or e-mail david.lane@keypublishing.com.
