RailStaff Awards 2022

Introducing your host

Comedy fans will be delighted to learn that the host of this years’ awards is none other than comedian and actor Ed Byrne, a regular face on the satirical panel game Mock the Week. More than this, Ed has had a long career in comedy, enjoying huge critical and popular success in the UK and Ireland.

Welcome to our ski resort!

The shimmering mountains and log cabins of our bustling alpine party village will provide the inspiration for this year’s Awards.

On the night, guests will make an entrance through a forest of snow-dusted fir trees, lit in the cool tones of a winter’s evening. Once inside they can choose to meet friends for cocktails in the venue’s double-storey ski lodge, sample the delicious canapé reception, or make their way straight to the main bar to mingle.

RailStaff Awards Celebration is back on! – Thursday 24th November 2022

After careful consideration and consultation, due to the current ongoing situation, and in an effort to keep our guests and staff safe, we made the difficult decision to postpone the RailStaff Awards 2021 and put on a bigger and better event this year.

All current and new nominations will be carried forward to our 2022 event which will take place on Thursday 24th November 2022 at the NEC, Birmingham. So please continue to nominate! We can’t wait to see you all there celebrating and partying into the early hours!

We miss you all, and we look forward to welcoming you all back! We will continue to work hard to bring you the unique events you love.

We want to say a special thank you to the nominees and sponsors. It’s these individuals and companies who have gone above and beyond to bring the Rail Industry together.

The RailStaff Awards has been recognising the extraordinary achievements of rail industry employees since 2007.

The ceremony shows appreciation for the people who deliver the railway – from drivers to cleaners, and engineers to station staff. Often these are stories of lives saved, careers turned around and adversity conquered.

In 2019, The RailStaff Awards saw over 900 people in attendance, 1,300 nominations and 100,000 votes.

Join us this year as we honour more unsung heroes of the railway.
