Community Rail Week 2026 is well underway!

This year’s theme, ‘Journeys for All’, celebrates how community rail helps create inclusive, accessible and welcoming journeys, connecting people of all backgrounds with opportunities, places and each other.

What a great chance to showcase the positive impact of community rail, as we look back over some of the wonderful projects we've helped fund.

ℹ️London Underground strikes off: Planned industrial action on Tuesday and Thursday (May 19 and 21) has been suspended and services from Paddington station are anticipated to operate as normal.

🚨 RMT suspends planned Tube driver strike this week 🚨
A union spokesperson said: "At the 11th hour the employer has shifted its position allowing us to further explore our members concerns around the imposition of new rosters, fatigue and safety issues.
"The dispute is not over and more strike action will follow if we fail to make sufficient progress."

In 2003, the last direct daily train ran between Bristol and Oxford. On Monday, we're bringing them back. Two iconic cities. Eight services a day. One hour and eight minutes. This is what rail can do.

Good luck to everyone running in this weekend and an extra special shout out to the GWR employees taking part.

👁️ Look out for the GWR Pacers to guide you to the finish line.
