Community Rail Week 2025
Showcasing our year-round events and activities
We’ve had an amazing Community Rail Week this year – showcasing our year-round events and activities and also celebrating Railway200!
We kicked off the week at Bricket Wood Station, displaying art work from St Albans’ Visual Arts Festival – celebrating local artists and local tourism. We’ve really upped our game this year on displaying art work up and down the line – and are aiming for more. We’ve had lots of compliments and engagement. Watch this space!
Next stop Watford Junction, as we build awareness of the Abbey Line and connect communities with their railway.
St Albans is just 16 minutes away on our local branch line – a smooth ride, avoiding congestion and parking woes.
Beautiful walks are easily accessible from Abbey Line stations too, providing the opportunity to connect with nature, car-free.
Thanks to Cllr Ian Stotesbury for stopping by and to our team of volunteers and steering group members, helping us spread the word about our work.
Also big thanks to London Northwestern Railway staff, Upper Crust and Costa Coffee Watford Junction Station for their generous hospitality!
And finally, we were so thrilled to premiere our short film at the Odyssey Cinema in St Albans at the weekend.
It’s all about celebrating our local line, Community Rail and Railway 200!
Our community-minded cinema will play our movie before the main feature film every evening next week too.
Grab your popcorn and view it here too.
All-in-all a fabulous Community Rail Week!
