Platform - A Rail Education Programme

 

Platform is an award-winning rail education scheme that works with schools to empower young people in accessing the railways.

 

Through workshops, train-trips and bespoke, local resources, Platform helps teachers to build their students’ knowledge of rail-safety, their understanding of sustainable and healthy travel, and their confidence in using trains.

​​

​

Platform supports schools in building cultural-capital with out-of-classroom experiences; helps schools to embed sustainable learning into their curriculum; and promotes access to future opportunities available to young people through train travel.

​

Since launching the scheme in May 2022, the Platform team have delivered rail education to over 20,000 young people, and taken over 8,000 of them on train trips.

​

We are incredibly proud to be working alongside other community rail partnerships - Severnside, South Wessex, Transwilts, Worcestershire Community Rail Partnerships to deliver this programme, and  to engage our communities and help people get the most out if their local railways in Gloucestershire by offering support in schools and facilitating school trips based around rail.
