Moving together towards a greener,
more connected future.

Connecting rural and sub-urban communities with innovative Very Light Rail (VLR) technology.

 

Our Vision

The Greenway Initiative are proudly pioneering a shift towards more affordable and sustainable rail infrastructure across the UK. Bringing people closer together, with stronger, more resilient communities and greater access to core services and opportunities.

Our initial focus is to reinstate disused and redundant branch lines across the country. Facilitating last-mile public/private partnership rail solutions which connect rural and sub-urban passengers to existing mainline rail services.

    CHALLENGES

    How do we provide affordable green transport for local communities?

    Deploy a simpler transport solution that encourages increased use of our existing mainline network

    Rising energy prices and operating costs are a real concern for rail operators who need to reduce costs but maintain passenger services.

    Current traditional rail solutions are very complex and costly. They do not offer commercially viable options for simple lower density rural and suburban routes.

    Design a solution that puts the people at the heart of it and empowers local leaders to meet the needs of their local community.

    OUR MISSION

    Reinstate disused and redundant rail lines across the UK

    We are looking for potential segregated NWR rail line and Heritage rail line opportunities to deliver market-ready, low-cost, decarbonised, last-mile public/private partnership rail solution to connect existing mainline services.
