Welcome to Rail and Bus for Herefordshire
Rail & Bus for Herefordshire (RBfH) was formed over two decades ago as Rail for Herefordshire. The bus service element was added in 2012 as a response to impending cuts to local bus services. RBfH considers that both rail and bus services are vital to the future of public transport in Herefordshire and are an important and integral part of the economic and social development of the County.
Our Mission
The principal aims of RBfH are:
- To promote the interests of passengers using rail and bus services within Herefordshire and between Herefordshire and regional/national destinations.
- To actively assist in the promotion and development of public transport services and associated infrastructure such as rail and bus stations.
- To develop a cooperative relationship with train operating companies and Network Rail, Herefordshire Council, Members of Parliament, parish councils and other rail user organisations.
Our work and Campaigns
RBfH is actively involved in:
- The current consultation process for the award of new franchises for a. Wales & the Borders (as a member of the Marches Rail Users Alliance); b. the West Midlands and c. the Great Western.
- The development of a transport hub at Hereford Barrs Court station; improvements to stations at Leominster (in association with Leominster Rail Group) and Ledbury (as part of a Ledbury Local Transport Plan).
- County wide publicity campaigns to save rural bus services.
- Assistance to local bus service groups and parishes with timetable publicity.
- Development of future public transport in Herefordshire as part of Herefordshire Council’s Local Transport Plan and County Core Strategy Plan.
