Really enjoyed IPPR's roundtable discussing its #MovingTogether research👇, looking at how we can shift towards fairer, greener #transport - I was pleased to share insights from #communityrail & explore ways to work together to create positive change ippr.org/articles/movin…

Great to join our new partners ⁦Lumo⁩ ⁦Hull Trains⁩ ⁦Martijn Gilbert⁩ at their parliamentary event with ⁦@Fit4_Purpose⁩. Developing inclusive, sustainable mobility is crucial to widening access to opportunity, and at the heart of #communityrail’s work

Looks like a wonderful initiative by our members in #SouthWestWales, opening up #rail travel, supporting modal shift, and bringing people together to boost health & #wellbeing - not surprised to see the glowing feedback! #CommunityRail #SustainableTravel

Like the look of this London North Eastern Railway campaign with Kate Humble, getting people people thinking & talking about #SustainableTravel, and showing the huge difference it makes to people & planet shifting journeys from car & plane to #rail #ClimateAction #WeMeanGreen news.railbusinessdaily.com/lner-launches-…

The hatred, racism & violence on our streets in recent days, and spread of fear, is truly sickening. In Community Rail Network, we stand in solidarity with all those working towards a more inclusive society, and standing up to racism & fascism in all its forms. communityrail.org.uk/community-rail…

Some inspiring scenes of hope in this thread - people coming together in #solidarity against hate, racism and violence #Riots #NoPasaran #RefugeesWelcome

A wonderful #communityrail initiative by Yorkshire Coast CRP in #Bridlington, celebrating local history, bringing people together & creating pride in the #railway - I know our team are really proud to have supported this & see it come to fruition! communityrail.org.uk/key-part-of-br…

What an incredibly pertinent post for this moment in time. #RacistsNotWelcome

Staggering figures in this study: 50,000 deaths attributed to heat in Europe last year. People are not adapting fast enough as temperatures continue to soar, with disproportionate impacts for poor & marginalised communities. #climatecrisis theguardian.com/world/article/…

“We’re in a climate crisis. We’re in a public health crisis; getting people walking and cycling and moving more are essential to solving both of those..." Hear, hear, Louise Haigh! More walking & wheeling = longer, healthier & happier lives! 🚶‍♂️🚶🏾👨🏾‍🦽 theguardian.com/politics/artic…

Brilliant to see commitments from ScotRail & Network Rail Scotland in their #ClimateAction Plan to strengthen relations with #communityrail, to unlock social value & achieve a sustainable Scotland. I'm on my way to Glasgow to discuss how we make that happen! scotlandsrailway.com/assets/site/Cl…

I'm about to embark on a big challenge - running the 87-mile, 5,000 year-old Ridgeway, raising funds for Greenpeace UK, campaigning for a greener, fairer future. If you’re able to lend your support, you can do so here: justgiving.com/page/jools-tow…

An important part of #communityrail is celebrating local history, landscape & culture and the #railway's place in it. This brings people together, bolsters pride in place, and encourages #sustainabletravel by rail (oh and it's fun too). A lovely example here in #Northumberland...
