To wrap up Railway Safety Week, here are some of our favourite moments from a trip to Cardiff with a group of nine students from Gloucester College- some of whom had never been on the train before. 

This trip is part of our Travel Proficiency Certificate, contact [email protected]
A group of students from Gloucestershire College pulling funny faces are enjoying a train ride, peering into the camera, with a green landscape passing by outside the train windows. Some are wearing student lanyards. The overall impression is one of cheerful camaraderie on a field trip. Three people are sitting on a boat with patterned blue seats, enjoying the ride. All are wearing reflective sunglasses, and one is holding a map or leaflet. A window behind them reveals a view of the water and distant shoreline of Cardiff Bay. A group of college students on a bridge raises their arms in celebration, smiling and enjoying the moment together. Two students on a train journey. One student is visible from the shoulders up, wearing glasses and a blue shirt with a lanyard that reads "Gloucestershire College Student" . He appears to be resting or looking out the window. Next to him, another student is partially visible, wearing a light-coloured shirt and a blue wristband. They are seated next to the window, with the countryside passing by. A small table is folded out in front of them, holding a water bottle.

🚶‍♀️ It’s National Walking Day! 🚶‍♂️

There’s no better reason to pop on your walking shoes and explore the stunning countryside, riversides, and historic towns🚆🌿

We’ve created a series of leisure trails that start from or near railway stations, helping you step straight off the train and into adventure.

Aged 13-25? We want to hear from YOU!

Last Monday, we held our third Youth Transport Forum in Gloucester, tackling education in travel. Ideas included a careers app to promote transport jobs & adding transport sessions to the curriculum. Great discussions (and pizza!). Our final session is in Oxford - stay tuned for our report in June🚆🚍

Today we delved into some topics like the meanings of sigma, beta & alpha. But the real question is: If train travel made our young person feel alpha, does that mean we're alpha too? Have we reached our pinnacle?

What's the best feedback you've received from a youth session? This made us laugh!

🚆 Train vs Car: The numbers don’t lie. Taking the train produces 5x LESS carbon emissions per person than driving the same journey.
 
🌱 Less emissions
🚘 Fewer cars on the road
♻️ A cleaner, greener future

Taking the train = fewer kettles boiled for the planet!
 
Using a kettle comparator, you can see how much CO₂ you save by taking the train instead of driving. Your greener choices add up more than you expect!
