The Rail Forum Buddy System

Last year we launched our Buddy System for all new members joining the Rail Forum. Using intelligent pairing, we will connect all new members with a ‘Buddy’ made up from a number of member volunteers. This interaction will give a member perspective about how to get the most out of their membership. It will also assist in getting new members started on their networking journey.
