Community rail and station adoption

Community Rail Partnerships (CRPs) are not-for-profit organisations that connect the railway with the communities they serve. They were initially set up to encourage people to use their railways, especially during off-peak times.

Today, CRPs works closely with train operators across the country, developing stations and supporting local economies.

We’re proud to provide core funding and support to eight CRPs on our network.

What do Community Rail Partnerships do?

Each CRP has a steering group made up of local stakeholders, who agree an activity plan for their partnership. Their activities often include:

Producing line guides to promote local attractions
Encouraging and supporting station adoption
Working with us to promote Try the Train days
Working with us to develop redundant spaces at stations into community hubs
Other initiatives that promote rail travel and the possibilities it offers
