LABOUR’S Mayor of Bristol Marvin Rees praised Aslef delegates as he welcomed them to the city yesterday.
He said: “I congratulate you for leading the campaign to get the world-class transport system we need.
“It’s about sustainable economic development. I grew up here, in Bristol, as a poor mixed-race kid in a physically divided city and part of the problem was the transport network. So I know the importance of a transport network in building an integrated modern city — otherwise people get locked out of economic opportunities.
