ATOC -> RDG. ATOC is no more.

Briefing papers from the House of Commons Library: generally a good first port of call on an issue.

A now-historic document I came across at https://researchbriefings.files.parliament.uk/documents/SN04128/SN04128.pdf and have mirrored at https://www.passenger.chat/mirror/SN04128.pdf. Being a government publication, "quick" is relative - it's still 21 pages long and ideal the life long car driver who's wondering whether to catch a train for the first time.
Is there an updated version anywhere?
As part of an update to my notes - starting locally to my home and ranking by geographic cover, I have listed the following rail organisations
Parish Councils
Melksham Transport User Group
West Wiltshire Rail User Group
TransWilts Community Rail Partnership
Wiltshire Unitary Council
Western Gateway subNational Transport Body
TravelWatch SouthWest
(First) Great Western Railway
Great Western Coffee Shop forum
Railfuture Ltd
Departement for Transport
Great British Railways
Network Rail
National Rail
And that's before you consider Travelline; CRN; RSSB; RAIB; RDG; ATOC; ORR or BRTA.
