National Rail is one of the rail organisations committed to educating young people about the railways and safety issues.

You can find FREE downloadable factsheets about the railways, images of trains, stations and staff, as well as ‘rainy day’ activities.

The Teaching Zone contains access to FREE educational resources including lesson plans, factsheets, posters, videos and classroom activities as well as media files that can be downloaded for use by pupils or with school interactive white boards
