At the 2011 conference a meeting of RailSIG members decided to rename the RailSIG to TranSIG in order to better represent the interests of the members and foster new members.
A LinkedIn group has been started for those interested in taking part in discussion. The group has so far been very quiet and we would welcome people interested in contributing to discussion. to join you need to join LinkedIn, then search for the TranSIG group and join it.
