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!

50% of Britain’s railway stations are adopted by local communities; in #Suffolk it's 100%. Today we're shining a spotlight on Kim & Glynn, our longest serving adopters (2 decades), who look after Brampton station, linking in with #Railway200’s theme of celebrating railway people. #CommunityRailWeek
