#CommunityRail trails from stations come in so many different forms! Along the Heart of Wales Line, there are unique local makers, traders and businesses ready to be discovered - and all handily compiled in Heart of Wales Line CRP's guide 📝 #TracksAndTrails

Now it’s Paul’s turn, regions support manager @communityrail.bsky.social, sharing one of his favourite places to walk. Follow our #TracksAndTrails series to discover more team favourites throughout the day!

Shared this today at the @chilternrailways.bsky.social #CommunityRail conference. Let's make @communityrail.bsky.social even more incredible! @oxcrp.bsky.social @harryburr.bsky.social

Every year we turn our annual @communityrail.bsky.social conference over "to our members, by our members" #OpenSpace #Unconfernce style I look back with thanks to those who showed me this format @paulineroche.bsky.social @lornaprescott.bsky.social 😃 but think too of dear friends John P & Nick B 😢

Wow, what a fantastic selection of Open Platform topics our members came up with. The sessions this morning covered accessibility, the changing political landscape, diversification of funding and engaging schools on rail careers - to name just a few! #CommunityRail

We're here in #Nottingham for the annual @communityrail.bsky.social conference. 120 people have turned out from across Britain to share ideas about making the railway network more accessible, station adoption, rejuvenating redundant railway buildings, and boosting tourism by promoting rail travel.

It's all about this gentleman this weekend! #GeorgeStephenson #Railway200 #CommunityRail @railway200.bsky.social @communityrail.bsky.social Happy Birthday to the modern railway!

Today is a huge date in the 2025 calendar... 27 September marks the 200th anniversary of the birth of the modern railway!🎉 We're so proud that #CommunityRail has played a central and inspiring role in the national celebrations 🚂 #Railway200

The big day is here! 🗓️ 27 September marks 200 years since the birth of the modern railway 🎉 We're so proud to have joined our #CommunityRail family in showcasing scenic, greener journeys throughout the national celebrations 🚂 #Railway200 @railway200.bsky.social www.youtube.com/watch?v=-vMo...

🎉 LAUNCH DAY 🥳 #DaysOutByRail is your ticket to unforgettable adventures across Britain, all by train! Throughout August, we’ll be sharing hidden gems and scenic spots from across #CommunityRail, perfect for exploring new places like a local 🚉 scenicrailbritain.com/campaigns/da...

Not sure which to pick as my favourite.... maybe @thebeautyoftransport.com or @mrtimdunn.bsky.social can help decide? Over the last week I've seen that Europe certainly knows how to 'do stations' that really announce their presence! @interraileu.bsky.social

Apparently it's all happening in #Basel this evening.... I was passing though there yesterday on my tour around European destinations and thought the station looked magnificent too. Ready for a big celebration! #TrainsAndFootballAreComingHome @seatsixtyone.bsky.social @thebeautyoftransport.com

Lovely to attend our @communityrail.bsky.social parliamentary reception today hosted by Helena Dollimore MP with Lord Peter Hendy & @southeastcrp.bsky.social guest speakers and to meet so many of our #CommunityRail members & supporters. What amazing support!! Great team here organising it all too!

“We couldn't have hoped for a better response from members, partners and the public during this year’s campaign.” For the latest edition of Rail Director, our interim chief executive looks back on our fifth and biggest #CommunityRailWeek yet 📝 Check it out 👇 issuu.com/raildirector...

We were thrilled to attend the launch of the #Railway200 exhibition train today! Starting tomorrow, 'Inspiration' will visit 60 locations across Britain over the next year to mark 200 years of the modern railway🚂 Learn more ↪️ @railway200.bsky.social www.networkrailmediacentre.co.uk/news/unique-...

Probably only @thebeautyoftransport.com or @doublearrow64.bsky.social will understand how giddy I felt when I saw this at Langho station today! Oh yes, full on Regional Railways and British Rail Community Unit. The railway doesn't get much* better than this! (*OK it does) @communityrail.bsky.social

Where did we go wrong? Visited our @communityrail.bsky.social friends at White Cliffs #CommunityRail Partnership yesterday for a great catch up. What a contrast. Sandwich station is lovely, oozing charm ... but oh Thanet Parkway, how bland! (Sorry!) @thebeautyoftransport.com

Passing through Ashford International today so made use of one of the more unusual #CommunityRail projects we have supported with @southeastcrp.bsky.social and @serailway.bsky.social ... the upcycled railway carriage seats! There should be more of these! @communityrail.bsky.social

#RailSafetyWeek is next month! 🚉 There are lots of ways #CommunityRail can get involved - why not host a station open day, organise a workshop or run a creative competition with young people, or just spread the word on social media? 🗯️

Thank you so much for joining us during our fifth and biggest #CommunityRailWeek, sponsored by Rail Delivery Group 🫶 We hope you've been inspired to see just how much #CommunityRail does to boost wellbeing, amplify community voices and encourage more people to travel by train 💚 #Railway200

Day 4 of my #CommunityRailWeek was to Marston Vale #CommunityRail for the naming of @lnrailway.bsky.social train "Bletchley Codebreakers" followed by a tour of the Ridgmont station heritage centre. The work of the station adopters at Bletchley is very welcoming too! @bletchleypark.bsky.social

50% of Britain’s railway stations are ‘adopted’ by local communities 🤝 These volunteer groups help to bring people together, make stations welcoming and safe, and add value to communities 💙 What’s your favourite thing about your local station? #CommunityRailWeek #Railway200

It was good to see our @communityrail.bsky.social members promoting EcoEscapes in Lancashire and Cumbria today at their #CommunityRailWeek display in Manchester. Lots of interest!

An enjoyable browse through the @railwayheritage.bsky.social display under the splendid York station roof. Great to see many examples of buildings restored for community use with @communityrail.bsky.social links. @southeastcrp.bsky.social @darentvalleycrp.bsky.social And this one too! .... 😉🍻

Day 1 #CommunityRailWeek at #Watford Junction Station today. Building awareness of the #AbbeyLine, #AbbeyLineTrail and connecting communities with their railway. @communityrail.bsky.social @watfordcouncil.bsky.social @watfordgap.bsky.social @abflyusers.bsky.social #sustainabletransport

My #CommunityRailWeek is underway taking part in visit for 50 school children to @greatcentralrly97.bsky.social with @eastmidsrailway.bsky.social Great to share in their enthusiasm - for many their first ever train journey! @communityrail.bsky.social #CommunityRail

We're so proud to see our 'Outstanding Volunteer Contribution' winner from this year's #CommunityRail Awards profiled by BBC Nottingham on her amazing achievements at Bulwell Station and within the local community 🎉

It's local so popped down to @barrowhill41.bsky.social to see some heritage trains today. Always on @communityrail.bsky.social duty... had a great chat with @alexastott.bsky.social about @railway200.bsky.social & #CommunityRail ideas. The shunter cab ride was great fun too! Thanks and see you again!

We sent out the latest instalment of our email bulletin yesterday, which only means one thing: all the latest news, projects and events from across #CommunityRail are now live on our website 📚 And it was a bumper edition too! Click below to get reading 🥳 communityrail.org.uk/news/

Took time out on Friday from the busy-ness of the @communityrail.bsky.social week for a walk between a diminutive The Lakes station through the tranquility of @warwickshirewt.bsky.social Clowes Wood to Earlswood station. Very restorative! #CommunityRail

New webpage alert 👩‍💻 As part of our work to support the thriving #CommunityRail movement in Scotland, we've launched a new webpage shining a spotlight on the 9 Scottish CRPs working hard to connect communities with their railways ➡󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 #CommunityRailScotland communityrail.org.uk/scotland/

We love seeing how members put their #CommunityRail Small Grants Funding to excellent use 💰 Check out this fab train-shaped planter at Alton Station! Our grant helped purchase the materials and the volunteers did all the hard work in bringing their vision to life 🚂

Each year our @communityrail.bsky.social #CommunityRailWeek is one of my favourite events to see and take part in the many community based activities and railway promotions they do. What will be this year's #CommunityRail surprises?! @railway200.bsky.social

@communityrail.bsky.social Congratulations to our HML station and Friends of Blair Athol Station. "Sharing our past, building our future" is the best Community Engagement Project. Very well deserved. #CRA25 #HMLCRP #CommunityRail
