Tracks and Trails
Take the train and discover somewhere new with Tracks and Trails, our campaign celebrating the fantastic walking, wheeling, and cycling routes accessible by rail. Sponsored by Transport for Greater Manchester and curated by community rail, this year’s campaign explores two themes:
• Mindful miles – highlighting routes that support wellbeing and encourage people to slow down and reconnect with their surroundings.
• Nature near the station – showcasing easy access to nature from the railway.
From coastal paths and canal towpaths to woodland walks and scenic cycle routes, there are countless opportunities to enjoy active travel and explore more sustainable. For inspiration from our campaign sponsor, discover how to explore Greater Manchester by rail, trail and Bee Network, or venture beyond the city to uncover walking routes, nature-rich landscapes and rail-linked adventures across the wider region.
