For this year’s Community Rail Week we have partnered with the Stockport based Walkaday group and GM Ringway to bring you three guided rail walks in our CRP areas.
We will also be hosted by Network Rail along with other Community Rail Partnerships at Manchester Piccadilly station where you can come and meet us and pick up some of our free walks leaflets and other promotions of the CRP areas.
Community Rail Week is a national campaign led by our member body, the Community Rail Network (CRN). Supported by social media promotion by the CRN, the promotional week runs from 20th to 26th May. This year’s theme is ‘More Than a Railway’.
All these events are free to attend and the booking link for the GM Ringway walk can be found below.
