The Cotswold Line Promotion Group is an entirely
voluntary organisation which was formed on 11th March
1978, with the aim of safeguarding and promoting improvements to rail and bus feeder
services along the Oxford-Worcester line.
In 1986, the Group's activities were
extended to include the Worcester to
Hereford line. It considers that a mixture of through
and local services is essential to the very future of the railway.
The line had been at risk for some time and the Group
has worked to increase use of it so that no further downgrading or, ultimately closure,
would occur.
The
25th anniversary of the formation of the Group was celebrated at a dinner held at the Manor House Hotel, Moreton-in-Marsh
on the evening of Tuesday 11th March 2003.
Membership stood at 1752 on 31st August 2010.
