Action stations as events mark 200 years of rail

From May 19 to 25, more than 130 activities are taking place at stations and venues across the UK to celebrate two centuries of bringing people together through rail. The community-led events highlight the crucial role the railways play in beating isolation, supporting local economic wellbeing and promoting sustainable travel.

The activities, under the theme Railway 200, also shine a spotlight on the organisations and volunteers working together to ensure railways remain accessible and integral to everyday life. On Monday, May 19, Haltwhistle Station in Northumberland launched Community Rail Week with a series of talks and activities in collaboration with Tyne Valley Community Rail Partnership, Bishop Line Community Rail Partnership and Community Rail Cumbria.

Attendees have learnt more about how local rail initiatives support young people, collaborate with tourism and strengthen final mile connections to destinations such as Hadrian's Wall.

HEALTHY START

January is the right time for a reset. Nothing extreme, just food to help you feel good. Think fresh flavours, colourful plates and meals as nourishing as they are comforting. Soothing soups, vibrant salads and a spicy curry are on my menu plus, of course, the odd selection box chocolate which needs eating up!
