The Three Rivers Rail Partnership is 'a group of local authorities, local people and the rail industry, working to promote our train and local bus services and doing what we can to improve our stations and services. Why Three Rivers? The rail routes which the partnership covers run alongside or cross the Avon, Itchen and Test rivers - hence "Three Rivers".'
