  • 'From the Bare Platform'
    ‘From the bare platform’ A survey of community engagement in railway buildings Photograph kindly provided by Sheila Dee, rail officer at Chester-Shrewsbury Rail Partnership Foreword This report provides further, important evidence of the array of ‘community stations’ projects we are seeing around the country, delivering positive benefits for local people, rail passengers and sustainable development. These innovative, empowering and community- driven projects are diverse and wide-ranging, as this report shows, but they have in common a passion and determination to make a difference locally and ensure people can get the most from their railway stations. They are all about bringing stations back into the heart of communities, where they belong. This brings all sorts of social and economic benefits, from giving community groups welcoming spaces they can use in their work to enhance health, wellbeing and cohesion, to enabling people to appreciate local history, art and culture, to providing affordable and nutritious food sourced from local suppliers. These projects are inspiring and exciting to hear about, but they have all faced challenges, and have aspirations to deliver wider, greater benefits to their communities and localities. It’s therefore important that we learn from them, and share lessons across the community rail movement, rail industry, and public and third sector partners, so we can support more projects like these to come to fruition. - Jools Townsend, Chief Executive, The Association of Community Rail Partnerships (ACoRP) 2 Introduction In autumn 2017 Rose Regeneration circulated a ‘call for information’ through the Rural Services Network. This sought the views of people with experience of bringing train station buildings back to life, including from: Community groups that had transformed stations for the benefit of local residents, businesses and passengers.
