In advance of our green plug relay, we have been holding campaign stalls outside Leicester railway station on every Saturday morning in September. We have collected signatures on the petition calling for the electrification of the Midland Mainline to tackle air pollution and we have also been taking the opportunity to talk to people about our wider campaign to reduce air pollution and promote Bring Back British Rail's campaign for the re-nationalisation of the railways. Campaign stalls always lead to lots of good conversations - including some with railway staff. It's also been suggested to us that an electrified railway line could run on electricity from renewables, for a really low carbon footprint!
