Oxfordshire Community Rail Partnership

What if learning to walk a local trail could teach you how to travel the world — safely, confidently, and independently? That’s the idea behind Rails to Trails, a project we’re proud to deliver at OxCRP with support from Active Oxfordshire. It’s about more than getting from A to B. It’s about confidence, connection, and knowing how to move through the world safely, starting with your own neighbourhood.

Rail Safety Week is a timely reminder that safety isn’t just signs and signals. It’s a skill we can teach, share, and practice together. That’s why we are committed to empowering young people to access and explore their local green spaces by rail and active travel… safely, independently, and confidently.

Because a safe journey is an empowering one, and sometimes it starts with just putting one foot in front of the other.
