TravelWatch SouthWest
About Us

TravelWatch SouthWest is a Community Interest Company. Its directors and secretary work closely with regional partners, including public sector bodies, voluntary associations and transport providers. The Company also engages in consultancy work for regional institutions including advising the South West of England Regional Development Agency on bus strategy and provided general guidance on matters relating to South West rail franchising. Directors also participated in the regional working group convened by the Government Office for the South West on its plans for implementing the extension of the Government’s Concessionary Bus fares’ scheme in 2008.

We organise twice-yearly meetings. Speakers are invited from government agencies, the public transport industry, including bus and train companies, airports and ferry operators. At these events, delegates may enter into the discussion, helping to locate and progress service improvements and to ensure that public transport is given the high profile that it deserves in regional transport policy and funding.
