Amongst the 18 shortlisted nominations is an intergenerational art project, a community-built pergola scheme and a dedicated volunteer.

Donna Adams, Community Engagement Manager at East Midlands Railway, said: “It’s great to have so many nominations this year as I know how much hard work has gone into many of the projects.

“Community rail has a real impact beyond the railway station and enables people to come together to achieve something that will benefit their community.

“It helps provide economic and social benefits – helping to improve gateways to towns and villages and create a community support network.

“At East Midlands Railway we are a strong supporter of community rail and proud to be part of such worthwhile projects.”
