This Community Rail Network report, supported by Rail Delivery Group, offers insights into how community rail delivers social, environmental and economic value for and with communities.

It finds a major return on investment of £17.89 for every £1 spent, through the work of 75 community rail partnerships and nearly 1,300 station groups, with 100-plus officers and 8,250 volunteers between them. These partnerships and groups, brought together under Community Rail Network, now cover more than a third of Britain’s rail network and half of its stations, across diverse localities.
