Welcome to the IRO Midlands May 2014 newsletter which includes a review of Suzanne Mathieson’s compelling overview of the Stafford Area Improvements programme (SAIP) and the Staffordshire Alliance which she delivered on April 7 in Birmingham; a 60 second interview with Rachel Gilliland, Customer Relationship Executive for DRS, Charter Operators and aspirant Open Access operators at Network Rail; local news from around the Midlands and some useful background information about the Area Committee and what we do.
