Community Rail Network is all about supporting the work of its members in their communities. Joining brings a range of benefits and enables us to be effective in supporting the community rail movement to deliver greater social value. Membership is available both to community rail partnerships (and groups on their way to becoming established as community rail partnerships), community stations and smaller groups like station friends and station-based social enterprises.
