News updates

This year, Extra has had a makeover. Thanks to your feedback, we’ve refreshed the design and improved the content to make it more engaging and easier to navigate. Whether you prefer to read on screen or on paper, there’s now a version of Extra to suit you.

What’s inside this edition?

Here’s a snapshot of what you’ll find in this year’s Extra:

• A message from your Trustee Chair, reflecting on the 200th anniversary of the modern railway and how you can get involved in the celebrations
• Details of the 2025 pension increase and how it affects preserved members
• Tips on protecting your pension from fraud
• Insights into Sustainable Ownership and how your views are shaping investment decisions
• A reminder to update your death benefit nominations

Two digital versions – your choice

You can now access Extra online in two formats:

• Interactive version – with videos, quick links, and a layout that adjusts to your screen size.
• PDF version – perfect for downloading and reading offline at your convenience.

If we’ve sent you a printed edition, it’s because you’ve previously chosen to manage your pension by post.

Prefer paper? You’re in control

If you’d rather get your pension communications by post, that’s absolutely fine. You can check and update your communication preferences at any time by logging into your myRPS account and selecting ‘Communication preferences’ from the menu.

You can still register for a myRPS account to explore the full range of online tools and information available on your member website.

It’s all about giving you the choice to manage your pension in the way that suits you best.
