Facilities for active and retired employees of the rail industry
Rail Staff Travel
Rail Staff Travel (RST) provides rail staff travel facilities for eligible active and retired employees of the rail industry and eligible family members. RST is part of the Rail Delivery Group.
Information on using staff travel facilities is published in the guides on the Guides page. It is usually quicker to refer to these guides than e-mail RST for information.
Information for new TOC employees
An Introduction to Rail Staff Travel for new employees of Train Operating Companies is published on the Guides page.
Information for Network Rail employees
Network Rail employees not yet registered for the leisure travel scheme should begin the registration process by completing the online NR form. The link can be accessed only by NR employees on the NR Benefits My Connect page. Any queries please contact your local HR team.
The team will process your submission and contact you if payment is required. A list of the Replacement Fees can be found on the Useful Information page.
