This is the second of two webinars, taking an in-depth look at leisure travel and how community rail groups can develop targeted promotions and campaigns that encourage more people to take leisure journeys by rail.

Part 2 on Tuesday 12 July will explore how to communicate your promotions to a targeted audience through a range of different channels. Our panellists which share case studies and provide ideas and inspiration from across community rail for how to engage leisure travellers.
