At Arriva Rail London (ARL), we believe in fostering strong connections with the communities we serve – and we are proud to play a prominent role in supporting areas and people across London. Our commitment goes beyond operating a reliable rail service; we aim to build positive relationships, work collaboratively with local people and groups to create vibrant and thriving communities, and make improvements that are informed and guided by local feedback and ideas.
We pride ourselves on offering an accessible service which helps people across London to get from A to B. We’re currently trialling innovative solutions which improve accessibility for all.
In collaboration with local authorities and organisations, we’ve transformed unused spaces within our stations into dynamic community hubs. These spaces have been transferred to local groups to bring the community together.
If you are proposing a project at or near one of our railway stations which enhances the local community and surrounding area, you can apply for match funding via the ARL community fund application. Alternatively, please get in touch with us by email community@arrivarl.co.uk.
Overground in Bloom is an annual gardening competition where ARL colleagues work tirelessly to create green spaces and increase biodiversity at our stations.
We’re working with partners and organisations to raise awareness of rail safety amongst school students and to run outreach programmes.
