MARLOW - MAIDENHEAD PASSENGERS’ ASSOCIATION

The Marlow - Maidenhead Passengers' Association is the action group for all public transport users - bus and train - in the area served by the Maidenhead to Marlow railway line in the Thames Valley including its former route into High Wycombe. We lobby the operators and local government on behalf of users to improve services and facilities, and we bring you timely information regarding proposed and actual service changes. We also hold a watching brief for the Twyford to Henley-on-Thames line, known as The Regatta Line, and High Wycombe station. The more members we have the stronger is our voice in fighting for your interests.
