Unleashing UK rail excellence, together.

Based at the heart of one of the largest clusters of rail companies in the world our members span the whole industry from global corporations to micro SMEs, asset owners to manufacturers, digital solutions providers to passenger and freight operators. An inclusive, not for profit organisation, our member companies are located from all parts of the UK.

As a UK Rail Trade Association, Rail Forum works at a strategic level to support collaboration across the rail industry and its supply chain. We provide a neutral, trusted environment where industry voices can come together to explore shared challenges, emerging risks and future opportunities facing the sector - hear what our members think.

Our work focuses on facilitating informed discussion, industry-led insight and practical engagement across key themes. By convening expertise from across the industry, we help enable joined-up thinking and stronger decision-making.Through close engagement with stakeholders, policymakers and industry leaders, Rail Forum helps ensure that industry perspectives are understood and reflected in wider conversations shaping the future direction of the UK rail sector.
