NRA 2025: start your journey to industry success. Will 2025 be your year?
ENTRIES are now open for RAIL’s National Rail Awards 2025, celebrating railway excellence from individuals and organisations.
The ‘Railway Oscars’, Britain’s biggest and most respected rail awards ceremony, celebrates outstanding achievements across the industry over the past year, highlighting those which demonstrate innovation and deliver measurable performance improvements.
Those recognised range from senior management to frontline staff, while the event also salutes engineering successes, environmental sustainability, and safety improvements.
All form part of the NRA’s aim to promote the rail industry’s longer-term success and sustainability, in which a highly skilled, diverse, motivated and engaged workforce can thrive under first-class leaders.
A new category for 2025 is the Accessibility Achievement of the Year, which celebrates initiatives that reduce barriers for those who have additional needs when travelling by train. Judges will be looking for entries that have clear aims to improve accessibility, address barriers to independent rail travel, and demonstrate a determination to make the railway more accessible for everyone.
This year’s ‘Railway Oscars’ ceremony is due to take place on Wednesday September 17, once again at London’s prestigious JW Marriott Grosvenor House in Park Lane, London. Please do make a note in your diaries that for the first time, this year's event will be held on a Wednesday.
