History
Established in 1897, WARI has a traditional background of providing lifestyle products and services to employees within the rail industry. Since becoming incorporated in 1999, WARI has opened its doors to a much wider range of people within the transport industry and a select base of members from the general public.
Whilst still remaining true to our underlying foundations, WARI has recognised the need to make changes to accommodate the needs of our members to serve them well into the 21st century.
