As always, a great national networking event for community rail to share experience and best practice and look for ways of closer collaboration with our partners and stakeholders. Thanks to Community Rail Network for there excellent organisational skills.
Then it was time for Open Platform! 🗣️
This member-driven format offers the opportunity for the people in the room to shape the workshops by pitching #CommunityRail topics they feel would benefit from a collaborative conversation with their peers. @transportgovuk

Trains, buses and trams connect us to work, college, days out... and each other.
They mean less traffic on our roads, less air pollution and a more stable climate.
The Government should use next week's Budget to support and improve public transport.
