The UITP Regional and Suburban Railways (RSR) Division and Committee Meeting brings together UITP members active in regional and suburban railways to exchange best practices and foster collaboration.
The 2025 edition will take place in Newcastle-upon-Tyne and is expected to welcome around 60 to 100 participants. The programme will include conference sessions, thematic workshops and technical visits. It will also mark the Railway 200 celebrations and the historic role of the Northeast of England in the development of passenger rail.
The event promotes knowledge sharing, showcases recent developments and supports networking across both the Division and the Committee.
If you would be interested in joining the event and you are a UITP member, please contact Meryam Elamri [email protected] for more information
In 2025, Britain marks the 200th anniversary of modern rail with Railway 200, led in part by Network Rail. The celebration honours the Stockton & Darlington Railway, which began passenger services on 27 September 1825.
A key highlight is the “Inspiration” exhibition train, touring around 60 locations across England, Scotland and Wales from June to December 2025.
More information about all the events being organised can be found at the website dedicated to the bicentenary celebrations:
