Kilbride Group.
Kilbride Community Rail.

The Kilbride Group has become involved in the development of community rail schemes since 2004, as a result of its interest in the use of rail infrastructure to link new development areas to employment and educational opportunities.

Kilbride Community Rail will invest and build necessary rail infrastructure, whether for freight or passengers, to provide new communities and customers with the necessary rail infrastructure to service their requirements.

We have sponsored the Lewes-Uckfield rail line reinstatement project, providing funding for feasibility stages and the promotion of the scheme in the area.

The investment in the infrastructure becomes more viable if the new service being provided can be marketed at a local level and can be tailored to meet specific local demand.

The increase in passenger numbers and rail movements resulting from this local approach improves the revenue potential for the service and helps to cover the costs of the operation. Tying in development opportunities to the funding of the infrastructure gives the project the best possible change of the projects succeeding.
