In 2025, Railway 200 celebrates the 200th anniversary of the modern railway.
Railway 200 will be a year-long nationwide partnership-led campaign to celebrate 200 years of the modern railway and inspire a new generation of young pioneering talent to choose a career in rail. It invites community, rail and other groups to get involved.
Starting in January 2025, a wide variety of activities and events are being planned to celebrate rail’s remarkable past, its role today, and its importance to a sustainable future.

If you would like to get involved, please take a look below, this is an opportunity to showcase a link to the railway, engineering industries, and the rich railway heritage we have in Bristol and Bath. Perhaps you have links to Brunel or other railway engineers? Does your business operate in and around an old railway track or station?
