Thanks Graham, so it's basically the stations on the Highand Mainline between Perth and Inverness exclusive.
Those are the ones the article and sources don't list any others. http://www.transportscotland.gov.uk/rail/rail-information/community-rail-partnershipsWe are already in a great place with the existing seven designated CRPs▸ in Scotland:
Anniesland to Glasgow Queen Street (via Maryhill) CRP
Borders CRP
East Lothian CRP
Highland Mainline CRP
West Highland CRP
South West Glasgow CRP
Stranraer to Ayr Line Support Association (SAYLSA). http://www.railmagazine.com/news/network/2015/11/11/new-community-rail-partnership-for-the-highlandsThe Highland Main Line Community Rail Partnership was launched at Pitlochry on November 9.
The HML CRP includes the route from Dunkeld and Birnam to Carrbridge.
Its priorities are: to make rail more accessible and attractive for the community; to encourage more commuters off the roads and onto rail; to improve access and links between stations and community centres/points of interest; to support the economic development of the region; to seek to improve accessibility for those with mobility and/or accessibility issues; and to act as an interface between the community, the Regional Transport Partnership HITRANS and Tactrans and the rail industry. From a year ago: http://www.tactran.gov.uk/documents/140909Item8CommunityRailPartnershipsProgressUpdate.pdfThe proposed Highland Main Line CRP includes all stations north of Perth and south of Inverness. This is the most advanced of the CRP applications in the Tactran area. Following consultation an application for the establishment of the CRP has been received from ACoRP▸ and is attached at Appendix A. The Partnership is asked to approve Tactran^s support of this application. As the proposed CRP stretches over two RTP areas, Hitrans has also been asked to support this application and will consider the matter at its meeting on 24 September. |

As further comment on the Scottish CRPs▸ , their roots come from the governmental (at various levels) drive to set them up, as they're identified as forces for the positive, with local community not being the initial instigator or even involved at the very early point. The model that ChrisB alludes to is the local community asking first with the governmental and rail elements partners being invited and becoming partners, rather than the other way. Probably fair to say we have both models in the GWR▸ and near-GWR area, although the former model as used in Scotland is much the most common. I can talk through the latter model as it's the TransWilts one if anyone's interested, and indeed have been encouraged by our partners to do so with people wondering if they should wish to take a serious look at setting up such for the long term; the 'right' CRP can do so much for a line, the community, and indeed the operator too.

Amusing acronym you've created with your bold letters in that last post, BNM. Accidental...?  Yep, accidental. Perils of using word processing app on phone for two things at once. I was typing a document and I'd set it to bold the first character in a numbered list. Sometimes use the same app for forum posts, then cut and paste, as it can be a nightmare composing posts here on an Android device. I get some strange things happen in the forum text boxes from time to time. Seems I've found another one. But can't be a*rsed to edit it now it's been pointed out? Hmmm No. Because the post has been referenced in subsequent posts. If I edit, your and II's responses make no sense. |

Arguably, the Cotswold Line is also mainline as it has Class 1 services end to end. But it isn't a CRP▸ .... The Cotswold Line Promotion Group is a full member of the Association of Community Rail Partnerships. It's activities match those of other full ACORP▸ members. Therefore, I'd say it is one. On your own there then. Checked last night - CLPG» do NOT consider themselves a CRP - more the second largest User Group in the country. |

The Cotswold Line Promotion Group (CLPG) will no doubt be tendering their resignation from full membership of the Association of Community Rail Partnerships ( ACoRP▸ ) forthwith, then?  |

William Huskisson MP▸ was the first person to be killed by a train while crossing the tracks, in 1830. Many more have died in the same way since then. Don't take a chance: stop, look, listen.
"Level crossings are safe, unless they are used in an unsafe manner." Discuss.

So, the Association of Community Rail Partnerships is not what it says 'on the tin' (an Association of Community Rail Partnerships), since it doesn't only contain Community Rail Partnerships? |

Don't DOO▸ it, keep the guard (but it probably wouldn't be a bad idea if the driver unlocked the doors on arrival at calling points).

From Chris' link: Membership of ACoRP▸ is open to community rail partnerships, railway development companies, promotional groups and 'station friends'. |
