      Network Rail wins five prizes at National Railway Heritage Awards 2020

      We’re proud to have won five prizes at this year’s National Railway Heritage Awards as we continue to fund and support work to protect railway heritage for communities across Britain.

      Network Rail is the custodian of a railway that dates to Victorian times, with striking and historically important bridges, stations and buildings all over the country.

      We’re grateful for the recognition at the NRHA held online on 2 December, presented by Andrew Haines, chief executive of Network Rail.

      The NRHA has awarded prizes in recognition of restoration and the re-use of parts of railway-built heritage since 1979.

      It’s the only awards body dedicated to rewarding and encouraging best practice in the restoration and maintenance of our Britain’s railway heritage.

      People and the railway: The Railway Heritage Trust

      Proud to support The Railway Heritage Trust

      Victorian Manchester bridges restored

      The restoration of three railway bridges in Manchester is one of our most high-profile heritage achievements in the past year.

      We returned the bridges to their Victorian splendour as part of the Great North Rail Project to improve railway travel in the North of England.

      We painstakingly restored the Grade II listed, 175-year-old bridges to ensure busy passenger and freight services could run reliably through Manchester Victoria station for decades.

      We unveiled a plaque in Great Ducie Street in Manchester in October last year to commemorate the £3.2m work by Network Rail, in partnership with the Railway Heritage Trust.

      Morpeth Railway Station

      Andy Savage, executive director of the Railway Heritage Trust – funded by Network Rail – officially opened Morpeth railway station on 8 September.

      The building originally opened in 1847 and was designed by local architect Benjamin Green who was also responsible for numerous civic and public buildings, including many railway stations on the East Coast Main Line.

      Conservation included re-instating historic chimney stacks, repairing stonework, and repairing and exposing the roof structure.

      Napper Architects delivered the work, which included collaboration with Network Rail, the Railway Heritage Trust, Northumberland Council, Greater Morpeth Development Trust, the National Lottery Heritage Fund, train operator Northern, contractor STP Construction and project manager Vextrix.
