Community

National Express East Anglia is a funding member of four Community Rail Partnerships, which were set up by Norfolk County Council with the help of Rail Passenger Partnership grants from the Strategic Rail Authority.

  • The Bittern Line Community Rail Partnership - visit the Bittern Line website at www.bitternline.com

  • The Wherry Lines Community Rail Partnership - visit the Wherry Lines website at www.wherrylines.org.uk

  • The East Suffolk Line Community Rail Partnership - visit the East Suffolk Line website at www.eastsuffolkline.com

  • The Essex and South Suffolk Community Rail Partnership - visit the Essex and South Suffolk website at www.esscrp.org.uk

Community Rail Partnerships are important to establish a relationship between the community and the organisations working to encourage rail use and to ensure that the railway is serving the community's needs.

The objectives of Community Rail Partnerships are to promote the use of rural railways to local residents, visitors and businesses, to bring economic, environmental and social benefits to the surrounding community and to contribute to sustainable and integrated transport schemes.

Other members of the Community Rail Partnerships include local authorities, Network Rail, local businesses and various community groups with an interest in the line. The Partnerships' working groups meet on a regular basis to discuss ideas for promoting the lines and suggest improvements. Working Group meetings are not open to members of the public or the media. However, the media are welcome to attend Full Partnership meetings.
