Working together with Shadow Great British Railways, the Urban Transport Group has produced a practitioners’ guide for building partnerships between Great British Railways and Mayoral Strategic Authorities.

To compliment this, a collection of case studies has been launched to showcase a diverse range of projects that partnerships between places and the railway are delivering, from individual stations to whole programmes of work.

The practitioners’ guide will continue to be developed in collaboration between the railway and MSAs as practice and learning evolves, and further case studies will also be added.
