The Railway Industry Association (RIA) is the main industry trade group for railway equipment manufacturers in the United Kingdom. Eligibility for membership to RIA is simple in that it is open to all UK-based companies in the railway supply industry. The Association’s principal activities are to:

  • Represent members’ interests to Government, regulators, Network Rail and others including the Transport Select Committee
  • Offer a forum for dialogue between members
  • Provide information to members
  • Promote exports of members’ products and service

The Railway Industry Association has four key functions - Public Affairs & Policy, Technical & Innovation, Exports and Events & Information.

It is allied with but not the same as the Rail Delivery Group.
