An inspiring range of community rail initiatives, delivered by community rail partnerships, station friends volunteers, and other community groups across Britain, has been recognised at the 20th Community Rail Awards this week.

The event, organised by Community Rail Network and headline partnered by Lumo, was this year held in Newcastle, to honour the wider railway industries’ celebration of 200 years since the birth of modern railways. A record-breaking 510 guests were in attendance including senior rail and transport leaders and community rail officers and volunteers. The evening recognised projects supporting diversity, accessibility and inclusion, sustainable travel and tourism, youth and schools engagement, community-led station improvements, empowered communities and influencing positive change.

Delighted - I was careful not to miss any out from the initial press release - but it did list winners only and there's a lot of fabulous other work going on that would have reached the placed and commended level not shown in that first release.

I would be - almost certain - that there would be many others across our region who got excellent national recognition last night and I would ask that they, or others who where there, please fill us in
