ATOC
The Association of Train Operating Companies (ATOC) are again sponsoring the National Cycle-Rail Awards, a major awards scheme rewarding the work of individuals and companies all over Britain.
As the voice of the passenger railway, ATOC represents train companies to the government, regulatory bodies, the media and other opinion formers on transport policy issues.

CTC
CTC - the national cyclists' organisation was one of the founders of the National Cycle Rail Awards and continues to promote them enthusiastically amongst the cycling community. Director Kevin Mayne says "Celebrating successful cycle rail initiatives is a way of showing what is possible in the sector and setting benchmarks for other to reach."
CTC gives successful entries considerable additional exposure by referring to them in its publications and promotional work with the public, local and national government and the media. It also provides one of the most extensive cycle tourism advice services in the country and recommends public transport options for all its services, bringing more customers to cycle friendly rail operators.

Abellio
Abellio is the new name for NedRailways. Since starting our first passenger operations in 2003 NedRailways has grown to become a fully established, European public transport company. Over the past years we have acquired bus operations in the Czech Republic, bus and rail operations in Germany and, most recently, a major bus operation in London. This is in addition to the Merseyrail and Northern Rail franchises which continue to thrive and deliver excellent service levels as we emerge from testing economic circumstances.
The expansion of NedRailways into other territories and across modes marks the start of a new era for our business, and the first manifestation of that new era is a new name: Abellio. Please see www.abellio.com.

Opportunities exist for other sponsors to associate themselves with the awards.
