Community Rail Partnerships

Community Rail Partnerships work to bring together the railway and the local community

Their work includes bringing station buildings back to life, art and education projects and organising special events, such as music trains, which promote the railway and its relevance to the community.

We support 21 active community rail partnerships (CRPs) across our network. CRPs bring together local communities and the rail industry to engage with the wider community and encourage use of the lines they represent. All our CRPs will have a paid officer, with all other roles or activities undertaken by volunteers.
