Joy of the journey

Joy of the Journey is a project that reaches out to diverse community groups to arrange hosted train journeys across the region – journeys that show how wonderful and easy the rail transport can be for a morning or day out with fun activities and refreshments.

“This initiative is aimed to create lasting memories while promoting the convenience of rail travel”

Its outcome has been bringing people together, Confident travel, tackling isolation and loneliness, along with promoting sustainable, healthy and accessible travel and tourism. The project was designed to be inclusive, reaching out to diverse community groups.

We recognise the importance of creating this project that truly represents the rich tapestry of our community. Community groups are actively encouraged to participate,ensuring that this project remains accessible to all.

Joy of the Journey feedback

Ebenezer church Warm Hub volunteers:

“On behalf of our coffee morning group at Ebenezer Baptist Church we’d like to thank you so much for the lovely trip you organised for us to Burry Port. We had no idea what to expect and we had an excellent day. In our group some of us are getting on and others have trouble walking etc. and were apprehensive about how they would manage this trip on the train. We hadn’t realised that such a beautiful place was right on our doorstep and it was so easy to get there by train. Now that we know how convenient it is to get to such places by train we will definitely go again by train. We now have the confidence to go alone as we could see the support available at the train station to help us”
