Our Projects

The Three Valleys Community Rail Partnership delivers a variety of community-led projects that connect people with their local railway and the places it serves.

Our work focuses on strengthening communities, encouraging sustainable travel and creating positive social, cultural and economic impact across the Three Valleys.

Each project is shaped by local priorities and delivered in partnership with community groups, organisations and rail industry partners. Together, they reflect our commitment to collaboration, inclusion and making the most of the opportunities created by the railway.

Below you can explore our current projects and find out more about how each one supports communities along the routes the Community Rail Partnership serves.
