Community Rail Week (1-7 June), sponsored by Rail Delivery Group, celebrates the positive impact of community rail on people and places across Britain. This year’s theme, Journeys for All, shines a spotlight on the vital role community rail plays in fostering inclusion, strengthening local connections and breaking down barriers, helping ensure that everyone can access and enjoy rail travel.

The support of partners is essential in helping these messages reach wider audiences. By sharing stories, reinforcing key messages and backing collaborative activity, partners help strengthen the collective voice of community rail.

Below you’ll find ideas and suggestions for how you can support and take part in Community Rail Week.
