The APPG focuses on improving and supporting rail services along the South Western Railway network. It brings together MPs from constituencies served by the network, addressing issues such as infrastructure investment, rail fares, service reliability, and passenger experience.
Note: All-Party Parliamentary Groups (APPGs) are informal, cross-party groups formed by MPs and Members of the House of Lords who share a common interest in a particular policy area, region or country. APPGs have no official status within Parliament.
