Southeast Communities Rail Partnership (‘SCRP’) will be producing 200 ‘blue plaques’ to mark 200 people with connections to the railways on its lines.
Each of the Line Officers for the 10 SCRP routes will work with local history groups/museums and youth organisations to research 20 stories of people or places who had some connection to the railways ranging from direct employees to local heroes and hidden histories. The information will be depicted with ‘blue plaques’ branded as Railway 200.
Posters showing the 20 local stories will be displayed at a station on each line during 2025 alongside a poster detailing modern railway jobs to act as a recruiting tool for the next generation.
