John Moorhouse, chairman of The Settle-Carlisle Railway Development Company, said: “We’re very proud that our Line Guide has been shortlisted for a Community Rail Award. The line guide is a result of ongoing comments received on the benefit of having a paper timetable, especially from the local communities along both the Settle-Carlisle line and The Bentham Line.”

The Community Rail Awards, now in their 18th year, recognise the important work carried out by an army, often of volunteers, who work across Britain’s rail network to make stations welcoming spaces for passengers and visitors alike.

Alongside this, many of the groups carry out vital community engagement work with schools, colleges and other local groups to help educate and secure passengers of the future, which is critical to ensuring our railways are an inclusive, sustainable and healthy way to travel.
