Community Rail Conference 2024

Our annual Community Rail Conference, hosted in partnership with the Department for Transport, took place in Nottingham on 7 & 8 October 2024.

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 included ‘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.
