The following will be presented at the National Rail Awards 2024
Safety, customer service and value for money are all key to the success of the railway. The industry also has a key role in making our transport system more sustainable, taking a lead in both the way it operates and the service it provides. The National Rail Awards recognise outstanding achievements in Great Britain over the past year, but particularly look to reward initiatives which demonstrate innovation and measurable improvements in performance which can be rolled out across the railway. By doing so, the Awards seek to promote the industry’s longer term success and sustainability, which depends on a highly skilled, diverse, motivated and engaged workforce and exceptional leaders, and which compares well with international benchmarks. The period covered by each award is the year ending on March 31.

With strong green credentials we are currently a low carbon choice, however with the race to net zero and an increase in extreme weather events we are losing our advantage. A commitment to long-term environmental sustainability should be considered as essential for all involved in the future of the railway.
