First Group at Labour Party Conference
Can I take this opportunity to wish you II for the new term Parliament. We at F" tareoptimistic that the new Parliamenta erm offers a great mber of opportunities deliver
further improved public trans po provision in Scotl and look forward to orking inpartnership with the Parliamen nd the Executive to elp delivering these ben ItS.
FirstGroup values greatl e input of civic Ie ers such as yourself, anhosting a stand at La ur Party Conferen in Bournemouth. If you e planning to attendconference I hope t you will consider king the time to visit our splay and giving us thebenefit of your e erience and views d perhaps hearing some our ideas and innovations
in the transpo, phere.,1
As I am sure you are aware, FirstGroup has been shortlisted by the Strategic Rail Authority
for the new ScotRail franchise. First is the only Scottish based company to be given thishonour.
Based in Aberdeen, First is a great Scottish success story and uniquely placed to deliver railimprovements in Scotland. We currently operate three UK rail franchises, and twenty-eightbus companies across the UK and can bring the full breadth of this experience and expertiseto bear on delivering for the Scottish rail network.
Indeed, we hope to display our commitment and innovation to improving public transport in
Scotland when we shortly launch a new bus-rail integration project linking Haddington in EastLothian with Newcraighall Station on Edinburgh's new Crossrail service. This proposal, thefirst of its kind in many years in Scotland, has been developed by First and delivered inpartnership with National Express (currently operators of ScotRail) and will offer new andimproved public transport options from the county town of East Lothian to Edinburgh CityCentre and the new Edinburgh Park station. This will be delivered with integrated ticketingand a dedicated service and coordinated timetable. We hope that this is just a taster forwhat First can deliver should we be given the opportunity to launch such initiatives under theupcoming franchise. Should you wish more information on this exciting project I would behappy to expand upon this and similar opportunities.

.Ministerfor TransportHogg KJ (Kenneth); Turner IP (Ian)Ministers meeting with MaryDickson on Wednesday
All seems ok for the Minister's meeting with Mary Dickson (FirstGroup) on Wednesday when she'll set out
FG's plans for ScotRail. Angie has kindly arranged for a projector and laptop to be in the meeting room
(103, Queensbury House) in response to FG's request - thanks Angie.
I've prompted Mary to speak for about 15 minutes leaving plenty time for discussion. I've also altered her
to the Minister's favourite topics on the franchise so there should be no surprises. I understand that Mary
wil1 be accompanied by Gordon Dewar and Chris Winslow.
Although I'm down to attend, unfortunately I'll have to drop out due to a family funeral. However,
Kenneth wil1 attend in my absence

Further to my telephone call of today, and my previous discussion with the minister Nicol Stephen araconstituency event, I write in regard to setting up an informal dinner. NJUG (National Joint Utilities Group)
represents members in gas, electricity, water and telecoms industries and is currently taking an active interestin the Transport (Scotland) Bill with obvious reference to the section on Utility Roadworks.
Recognising the Transport brief is very wide NJUG, whose members provide essential services, feel it wouldbe beneficial to all concerned to have an informal dinner with the minister and members of his team. Thiswould help develop a good working relationship and an understanding of each others key concerns in aninformal setting. Obviously this will not cut across any formal meetings or representations however should aidany future or ongoing dialogue.
I would be grateful of you could suggest some dates and potential attendees. Once confirmed I will make thenecessary bookings and associated arrangements
Thank for your help in this matter
