Very well-deserved congratulations to our 2nd place winner Sandy Burn, volunteer with the Friends of Westerfield Station, and our 3rd place winner David Gibson, volunteer at Witham, Cressing and Braintree Freeport stations 🤗 #CRA26

Our large groups winner is @SoutheastCRP for '200 Blue Plaques'. Alongside historians, rail partners and local communities, the team uncovered remarkable stories from across the network, pairing them with a creative showcase of the diverse careers shaping rail today 📝 #CRA26

Our medium groups winner is @TVCRP for 'A Song for Edmondson'. Working with talented singer‑songwriters, pupils from two primary schools learned about Brampton Station’s remarkable history by writing original lyrics and taking part in sound‑engineering workshops 🎼 #CRA26



The Friends of Hindley Station take home Platinum! This group continue to show what’s possible when #CommunityRail is driven by creativity, care and collaboration. This station is a shining example of a place for learning, biodiversity and hands‑on volunteer activity 💟 #CRA26


Our first winner of the night is @marstonvalecrp & @bedsrcc. 'Rails to Roots at @RidgmontStation' transformed a once neglected station garden into a vibrant space whilst bringing people together, supporting wellbeing and connecting more people to their local station 🌱 #CRA26

The excitement is real… In less than an hour, we will be welcoming our fabulous guests to our 21st #CommunityRailAwards at Derby Arena 🎉 We can’t wait for a jam-packed evening celebrating the wonderful world of #CommunityRail with you! 🥳 @EastMidRailway #CRA26
