The Railways Pension Scheme (RPS) will celebrate its 30th birthday in October 2024. We’re proud to help you plan for your life after work and support you to achieve a good financial outcome in retirement, as we have done for thousands of members over the past 3 decades.
As we look back at what has been achieved so far, and think carefully about our tomorrow, we’d love to hear about your pension journey with the RPS.
Please share your story about how the Scheme has contributed to where you are now, and your thoughts on what we can do more, or less of, to support you and your fellow members in future.
You’re also welcome to share photographs and videos from your time working in the rail industry. If you’re feeling up for it you could also send through a recording of yourself as you tell us about your thoughts about saving for a pension with the Scheme.
We are working on a dedicated landing page on the 30th anniversary where we will feature the member stories we receive. They may also be shared across the Scheme’s X channel and included in some of our member newsletters.
More information on the landing page will be shared here, on your member website, over the summer months.
Please email your thoughts to railpencommunications@railpen.com by 30 June 2024, keeping it to less than 500 words, if possible, along with completed consent form. The form confirms your permission to share your story with other members and contacts in line with our privacy policy. You can read our privacy notice in full on the privacy notice page.
We provide regular newsletters to help you navigate your pension whether you're paying into the Scheme, not paying in anymore, or receiving your pension.
Our blog gives you lots of insight and information to help support you on your journey to retirement.
