The following will be presented at the National Rail Awards 2021
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.
So don’t miss the railway night of the year! Join your friends and colleagues from across the railway family to celebrate the very best in our amazing industry with awards in the following categories:
Stations were divided into four sections for judging – small, medium, large and major termini.
This award will recognise a major new contribution to rail freight or logistics involving use of rail.
This award covers all aspects of infrastructure asset management, including for example signalling and telecommunications, power supply and digital technologies as well as civil engineering.
This award covers all passenger operators - main line, urban, metro or light rail. It is designed to reward operators who, over the past year, set and achieved high standards of operation.
People are at the heart of the railway. This award recognises railway men and women in any front-line role who have performed above and beyond the call of duty, to significant effect.
Innovation means finding new ways of doing the job or new technologies that will change the railway. It can involve radical changes in engineering or technology or to business process or to customer service.

Safety has always been high on public and political agendas - and rightly so. This award encompasses all aspects of safety, including the safety of staff, passengers and the public.
This award recognizes top class service for customers of all suppliers of railway services, where an organisation shows flexibility, responsibility, and a clear focus on quality of delivery that sets a new standard to deliver customer satisfaction, and which sets ambitions for the future that the industry will follow.

Open to any major project, costing around £100m or more. (Smaller projects should normally be submitted to other categories which are relevant to their nature and focus.) It may involve trains, infrastructure, signalling, stations, improved customer facilities, new technology.
The purpose of this award is to highlight and reward excellence in train engineering and management covering the whole fleet in both the passenger and freight sectors.
The modern railway depends on excellent teamwork within and across companies and organisations.
The railway industry has a key role in promoting a sustainable transport system, so that it faces up in particular to the challenge of the climate emergency both in its own operations and the service it provides to its customers.
We already celebrate outstanding contributions at the personal level with individual awards; here we are looking to find a great employer.
