Hello Light Railers,
We will be attending the EV festival, with a table featuring pro
public transport literature, and answering questions from the public.
Im advised our stickers are ready and they will be available on
Saturday. Cost TBD but we will seek to recover costs only to keep the
price low.
Come along and say hello!
