Community Rail
Partnership
What is
community rail?
Community
rail consists of
grassroots partnerships that engage with communities and help people
maximise the benefits their railways offer. They also promote
social inclusion and sustainable travel. They work to improve train
services and stations as gateways to their communities and where
appropriate advance the provision of new stations and services.
Our area
Our Area groups
- Bassewtlaw area (
Doncaster, Gainsborough, Retford, Worksop, Shireoaks)
- Lincoln area (
Saxilby, Lincoln, Market Rasen, Kirton in Lindsey,Brigg, Barnetby)
We encourge station
adoption at all of our stations.
What is a station adopter?
Local stations are at the heart of the community and we'd like all our
stations to be welcoming, clean and well maintained. Many of our
stations are unstaffed and train operating companies are not
always able to visit each one as much as they would like. That is where
station adoption comes in.
Station adopters are volunteers who help out at their local station,
from keeping an eye out for any unusual activity and reporting any
faults and issues, to maintaining the gardens and making sure the
station is presentable, they make a huge difference to every single
passenger.
