The HRA Railway of the Year
The HRA Railway of the Year
Entry criteria:
Awarded to an HRA member railway, tramway or funicular railway organisation that has achieved and consistently demonstrate excellence in preservation, restoration, engineering, operations, equality, teamwork, business, safety performance, and visitor experience.
Our judging panel want to know how you ensure that visitors have a great day out from the moment they arrive on your site. They want to see details of how you look after your volunteers and staff, develop your people and teams. They’re keen to really understand how you make your business sustainable and deliver great results for your heritage at the same time.
Remember, this award is aimed at the quality of the entire organisation – a winner will have spotless toilets, great governance practices and a warm welcome for everyone regardless of their background alongside gleaming locomotives and rolling stock.
TOP TIP: It's normally easier to work on your draft submission in a text document then paste it into the submission form when you're ready. Be clear and concise, use bullet points if neccessary.
