A TYNE Valley community rail organisation has received a coveted national award for its work breaking down barriers to rail travel and bringing people together through song. Tyne Valley Community Rail Partnership (TVCRP) fought off strong competition to take home the Involving Diverse Groups award, sponsored by rail operator LNER, at the 16th national Community Rail Awards, earlier this month. The partnership, which works along the Tyne Valley Line from Newcastle to Carlisle, was celebrated for its ‘Lyric to Line’ project. The initiative used music to identify and understand how more people, particularly groups with additional needs, could be enabled to take advantage of rail travel, by overcoming perceived and practical barriers.
