Our 2025 annual Community Rail Conference, hosted in partnership with the Department for Transport, will take place in Nottingham on Monday 6 and Tuesday 7 October 2025.

The conference, specifically for community rail partnerships and rail industry partners, is an opportunity to network with colleagues, exchange ideas and experiences, learn and find inspiration for future activities.

This year’s conference format is still being planned but will once again, include ‘open platform’ elements, designed to empower members to shape the agenda and put forward the topics and questions they think are important for deeper discussion.

If you have any specific queries or points that you’d like to follow up, please contact your support & development team lead.
