TravelWatch SouthWest Autumn General Meeting 2026
Date: Friday, 9th October 11:00 - 15:15 (10:30 arrival)
Location: Firepool Digital Innovation Centre, Taunton
About the Event:
Welcome drinks and registration 10:30 - 11:00.
Are we set up to cover the journeys we need?
How can rail, bus, and infrastructure in the South West better serve aging populations, rural communities, and accessibility needs? We’ll explore how socially necessary services are delivered and how grassroots voices can shape them.
How can the DfT and transport operators better listen to - and act on - community feedback?
We will explore these themes and questions at Autumn's general meeting and across the 2026/27 period.
Save the date! Agenda for the day will be confirmed shortly.
Free Coach travel will be provided along three routes. Stops/timings may be changed due to demand and final information will be sent to those that have requested coach travel.
