Progress Reform is an EP by the Leeds-based post-rock group iLiKETRAiNS. The titles of the songs employ the same capitalisation format as the band's name, capitalising all letters except for i's. The EP's title is a reference to the lyrics of "The Beeching Report", which are concerned with the 1960s Beeching Axe British railway reforms. Other songs on the EP have other historical implications.

• "Terra Nova" - Robert Scott's doomed mission to the South Pole in 1912.
• "No Military Parade" - Roald Amundsen and the events after the polar expedition.
• "A Rook House for Bobby" - Tells the story of Bobby Fischer.
• "The Beeching Report" - The effects of Dr Richard Beeching's report.
