Train passengers are being given the chance to meet representatives of the rail industry.

The Rail Passengers Committee for Southern England is staging a meeting at the Gatwick Hilton International Hotel at Gatwick airport.

Rail users and members of local authorities will be able to quiz representatives of the Strategic Rail Authority, Railtrack and South Central.

Speakers include David Franks, managing director of South Central, Martin Tugwell, head of regional transport planning with the South-East England Regional Assembly and David Bailey, chairman of the Strategic Rail Authority.

Also available to answer questions will be Andy Munden, area production manager for Railtrack.

Rail passengers committee chairwoman Wendy Toms said: "There will be plenty of opportunities for passengers and local authority representatives to ask questions and make comments so we hope they will make full use of these."

The event is tomorrow at 10am.
