Welcome to Rail Trails – A project supported by the WCRP
Community rail is a great way of inspiring residents of all ages and walks of life to get involved in making their local railway station an attractive place to be. Activities can include gardening projects, art displays and using station buildings for a range of events.
Participation promotes social ties and gives local communities a sense of pride and ownership in their local station.
