This week is #CommunityRailWeek!

It's a nice way of marking how important rail is in the communities it serves - including via the hard work of Community Rail Partnerships & station adopters, facilitated by @communityrail.bsky.social.

Of course, we're interested in how #History contributes!

#CommunityRailWeek ends today - it's an annual chance to recognise the excellent work done by volunteers across the railway system.

In this recent blog post we think about what the Railway Work, Life & Death project can do for community intiatives:

That's another piece of the #Railway200 puzzle!

Just sent the 1st output from our University of Portsmouth Heritage Hub-funded 'Portsmouth Area Railway Pasts' project off to print.

It's an interpretation panel for The Spring's #Railway display case, in #Havant, #Hampshire!
