Community Rail Officer's 'My Community Rail Week'
For this year's Community Rail Week (20 - 26 May 2024) we reflected on the projects we have facilitated this year, revisiting them on social media and sharing stories from the participants. We had a really good response to our posts, and we promoted some of the walks that were created by Quiet Walks as part of our Walking Connections Project.
On Friday I travelled down to Birmingham to help run a stall in New Street station over the weekend. This was organised by Wales on Rails to promote the 12 Great Little Trains of Wales, for example Talyllyn and Ffestiniog, whilst also highlighting the TfW network as a tourist option. We had special postcards printed, and spoke to many people about how they could use the Heart of Wales Line, and the places they could visit. Saturday was especially useful as there were lots of people travelling for leisure that were very interested in using the line in the future.
