ATCU Cambridge Branch
Jeff (Rab) Butler. It is our sad duty to inform members of the passing away of one of our retired members Jeff (Rab) Butler. Our sympathies go towards his family during this heartbreaking period. Paul Ogram, Cambridge Branch Chair said of Rab “he was a really senior hand who was a true character in the respectful way, he had a great knowledge of the rules which he used to help anyone out”. Rab’s nature was calming, never having a cross word about anyone. If he saw anyone having a grumble he would give his usual smile and say, “don’t worry it will be ok, it will sort itself out”. His unselfish nature came to the fore when a few vacancies came up on GN side. Considering others before himself Rab made way for the younger Drivers and stayed with National Express. “He will always be remembers for his smile, a good word for everyone and he will be sadly missed” said Paul Rab’s funeral will be held at the Crematorium West Chapel on 9 October 11.15
Oxford and Cambridge Link Plans for a railway line linking Oxford and Cambridge have moved a step closer after £2m of government funding was allocated to the project. The East West Rail consortium wants to to reinstate the line between Oxford and Cambridge through Buckinghamshire. The consortium was formed in 1995 by Ipswich Borough Council and includes local authorities, railway firms and businesses along the expected route. The plans will now move from the feasibility stage to the design stage.
