Good news! Rail Rambles is now affiliated to the Ramblers, which makes official the longstanding relationship between the two organisations. We share values with the Ramblers and support the work they do, and they in turn have given us a lot of support over the years.
Just to be clear, though, affiliation is a link, not a merger. We remain independent, offering an open walking programme, so you don’t need to be a member of any organisation to come walking with us!

The former Wales and Borders rail services are now operated under the banner of Transport for Wales. We have been in touch with the new management who have agreed to continue the support that we previously had from Arriva Trains Wales. The new management are keen to develop partnership working and we are looking forward to discussing how this might affect how Rail Rambles goes forward whilst still offering free, open-to-all walking opportunities in mid- and north-Wales and the Marches.
