Campaigns

Welcome to Railfuture

Railfuture is the UK's leading independent organisation campaigning for better rail services for both passengers and freight. Our local branches and volunteers campaign to get stations and lines reopened, for the benefit of the community, economy and environment. We have had a major part in getting 300 new and reopened stations to join the network since 1970

Railfuture new book

Britain's Growing Railway is a new 128-page illustrated book published by Railfuture in March 2010 about rail reopenings.

Railfuture and the General Election

The General Election is likely to have a major impact on the railways. Candidates need to be reminded how important rail is to everyone in Britain. Make your vote count: General Election 2010
