The Settle-Carlisle Railway Community Rail Partnership

The Settle-Carlisle Railway Development Company (SCRDC) is an accredited member of the Community Rail Network.

In 2020, we were successfully accredited as the Settle-Carlisle Railway Community Rail Partnership (CRP).  The accreditation, certified by the Department for Transport (DfT), is awarded in recognition of the community centred projects and services we provide across the Yorkshire Dales and Cumbria. 

“Accreditation is formal recognition by the DfT that a community rail partnership (CRP) operates to a high standard and that its objectives and activities are supported by Government” 

We work in partnership with the rail industry, local businesses, community groups and organisations to encourage socio-economic engagement along the world-renowned Leeds–Settle–Carlisle railway.  As station adopter of both Settle and Appleby stations, we also work closely with a group of dedicated volunteers to maintain the upkeep of the station’s gardens.
