We report the field trial of a Gaussian Modulated Coherent State (GMCS) Continuous Variable Quantum Key Distribution (CVQKD) system over 49.82km of railway trackside fibre. We have examined the effect of a moving train on the QKD system and implemented compensation methods, mainly for polarisation stabilization. The system generated 4kbps secure key, in the asymptotic limit, under the collective attacks. The CVQKD transmitter and receiver were deployed at the Rail Innovation and Development Centre (RIDC) at Melton Mowbray, UK, and remotely monitored and operated from the University of York, at York, UK.
