Looking forward to a fabulous time of meeting many of our @communityrail.bsky.social members at #CRA26 events this week and being inspired by all they have achieved to connect local communities with their railway!
What a spot! Still can't get my head around a premier train service with a freight engine and something from the Gatwick Express on the front! Enjoy.
Let's go for #CRA26 😊 ... See you in Derby tomorrow for lots of @communityrail.bsky.social goodness!

Graphic for Paul, regions support manager at Community Rail Network sharing his favourite walk. 'One which brings back childhood memories and which I still visit, is the first section of the Steel Cotton Rail Trail from Sheffield to Dore & Totley. A walk through both urban redevelopment, green spaces, parks and woods, it's also a walk of anticipation and ambition to press on further and explore the delights of Derbyshire and the Hope Valley.'
Now it’s Paul’s turn, regions support manager @communityrail.bsky.social, sharing one of his favourite places to walk.
