Learning opportunities

Community Rail Network holds events for members and partners throughout the year, including an annual Community Rail Conference (organised on behalf of the Department for Transport), and members’ seminars, where ideas and insights are exchanged across key themes. We also run webinars and workshops on specific topics, from social media to community stations.

Alongside this, our prestigious annual Community Rail Awards celebrate the work carried out by community rail partnerships and station groups, and help us to showcase and circulate good practice.

We are also have a training and development team, working to develop skills and capacity within community rail partnerships, and help community rail deliver greater benefit and increased opportunity to communities.
